College of Medicine and Life Sciences - MD Programs

1) Format/Grading for Prerequisite Courses and Labs
Online/virtual coursework for all classes completed during semesters impacted by COVID-19, including prerequisites, are accepted. Further, we'll accept non-letter grades for courses taken during the Spring and Summer 2020 semesters and additional semesters, if necessary due to the public health emergency. 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 on-line/virtual labs for science/math prerequisite courses completed during semesters impacted by COVID-19.

2) MCAT
We are waiving the requirement of a posted MCAT score for eligibility for a UToledo Secondary Application. At the stage when we screen for eligibility for a Secondary Application, our review of metrics in the absence of MCAT scores will focus on undergraduate grade point average (GPA), grade trends, graduate and post-graduate/graduate program grades, and similar information. While applicants invited to submit a secondary have a wide range of undergraduate GPAs, typically applicants with a GPA lower than 2.8 on a 4.0 scale are not as likely to be invited for an interview as those with a GPA of 2.9/4.0 and above.  Remember: You may still apply even if you will not have an MCAT score by the time that AMCAS applications are released to medical schools. MCAT scores will still be required for most applicants prior to receipt of an invitation for an interview. 

3) Interviews
For the 2020-2021 interview cycle, we will conduct synchronous, virtual Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI). Our on-line MMIs will be from January through May, 2021. 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.
