BACC2MD Pathway Admission Requirements for High School Students
UToledo offers the BACC2MD program for any incoming direct from high school students who have:
- at least a 3.8 HS GPA and 30 ACT or 1410 SAT, super scores not accepted
- U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status in the U.S (permanent residency "green" card). If applying as a permanent resident, an applicant must have permanent resident status at the time the undergraduate application is submitted and will be required to submit a photocopy of the front and back of their permanent residency card.
Once admitted to UToledo, students will:
- follow a normal pre-med academic plan
- take the MCAT during their junior year
- apply during the summer between their junior and senior year via the Early Assurance Pathway.
Students with at least a 3.7 higher education GPA (all college course work considered, not just UToledo), as well as a score in the 65th percentile or greater on MCAT are guaranteed an interview.
The Early Assurance Pathway allows students to apply directly to UToledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences (COMLS) via a supplemental application for their early interview in late spring/early summer before they begin their final year of undergrad. Students are also allowed to apply via the AMCAS or AACOMAS applications to other schools in the summer before they start their final year of undergrad. Students who meet the criteria will receive their decision from the COMLS by Oct. 1 of senior/final year of undergrad.

"In the BACC2MD program, I was able to connect with faculty and seek out research endeavors and involvement on campus and in my community that would develop the skills required of a future healthcare professional. The Pre-Health Advising Center connected me to many invaluable opportunities, including mentoring with the Rocket2Rocket program, volunteering at the Simulation Center on the medical campus, and helping run the Rockets On-Call Pre-Health podcast.”
