We hope that the information below will help you as you prepare to apply to our medical
school. We encourage you to submit an application that is as complete as possible--and
as early in the cycle as you can submit it.
NOTE: Due to the rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 global pandemic, we may have
to make additional changes to the information below. Please check this space often
for further updates.

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 August to March, with
the majority of our interviews in the fall. 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. Your email will also contain additional information
regarding in-person visit/tour days and other opportunities to get to know our community
and campus better.
4) Other Requirements
Other requirements will remain as detailed in the Application Process section of this website.
