1) Format/Grading for Prerequisite Courses and Labs
Online/virtual classes, including prerequisites, will be accepted for coursework completed
during the Spring semesters of the 2019-2020 academic year, Summer term in 2020, and
2020-2021 academic year (all terms). Further, we'll accept non-letter grades for courses
taken during the above semesters. A grade of pass (in a "pass/fail" format), "credit"
(in a "credit/no credit" format), or similar passing grade will be acceptable. We
will also accept online/virtual labs for science/math prerequisite courses completed
during the above semesters.
If invited to submit a secondary application, you will have an opportunity to explain
how your academic journey may have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
2) MCAT and GPA
We require an MCAT score to be considered for a secondary application except for applicants
who have previously been accepted through one of our Early Assurance pathway programs. While applicants invited to submit a secondary have a wide range of MCAT scores
and undergraduate GPAs, typically applicants with an MCAT score below the 48th national
percentile or a GPA lower than 2.9 on a 4.0 scale are not likely to be invited to
complete a secondary application.
3) Interviews
For the 2022-2023 interview cycle, we will conduct synchronous, virtual Multiple Mini
Interviews (MMI). Our online MMIs will be from September 2022 through April 2023.
If you're invited for an interview, the email we send you will contain additional
information including technical requirements and access to the web-based platform.
4) Other Requirements
Other requirements will remain as detailed in the Application Process section of this website.
