Secondary Application Invitation: Experiences, attributes, and/or metrics from the AMCAS application are reviewed to determine suitability for a secondary application. 2. Interview Invitation: After the Secondary Application (particularly the 3 formative activities) and Letters of Recommendation have been received, the applicant\u2019s entire set of experiences, attributes, and metrics are considered to determine interview invitations. 3. Interview: We use the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) to delve more deeply into the applicant\u2019s experiences and gain a deeper understanding of attributes relevant to a medical career. Our MMI is a blinded (closed-file) interview process. 4. Acceptance: The Admissions Committee members review and make decisions based on the entire application packet including all experiences, attributes, and metrics to determine whether the applicant possesses the intellect, integrity, skills, and personal and emotional qualities necessary to become an effective physician. Please visit our website for more information on general admissions: https://health.ucdavis.edu/mdprogram/admissions/index.html", "mission": "Transforming lives by improving health through the combined power of education, research, clinical care, and community. Here our some ways we put our mission into ACTION: Admissions Practices/Priorities-The Office of Admissions conducts holistic training for all individuals involved in admissions, emphasizing their responsibilities, need for confidentiality and other topics including implicit association (bias) and other key factors influencing admissions decisions. All participants take a university provided training related to diversity and inclusion, implicit bias, and anti-racism. UC Davis utilizes a socioeconomic disadvantaged score, based on AMCAS information, to attach a numeric value to each applicant\u2019s perseverance, grit, and distance traveled, which becomes part of the holistic admission evaluation. Beginning in 2009, UC Davis has implemented several successful strategies to support enrollment of students from traditionally underrepresented in medicine groups and those who plan to work in medically underserved areas. Students can apply to enroll in: Accelerated Competency-based Education in Primary Care (ACEPC), a three-year M.D. program designed with Kaiser Permanente to bolster the primary care workforce in California; TEACH-MS, Transforming Education and Community Health for Medical Students, geared for students who want to work in urban underserved areas; REACH, or Reimagining Education to Advance central California Health, for students aspiring to work in the Central Valley; the Rural Program in Medical Education focusing on closing workforce shortages in rural areas of northern California; and Tribal Health PRIME, designed to provide students with the appropriate knowledge and skills to practice medicine in California\u2019s urban and rural tribal communities. COMPADRE or California Oregon Medical Partnership to Address Disparities in Rural Education is a bold partnership to address workforce shortages in Oregon and Northern California by connecting students from underserved tribal, rural and urban communities to rewarding medical school and residency experiences throughout the region. Mission-focused Graduates-Over the past 10 years, over 75% of CHS graduates have matched into primary care residencies. In 2024, US News and World Report ranked UC Davis #4 in the U.S. for Diversity and Tier 1 for Primary Care. Student Life/Support Services-The Office of Student and Resident Diversity supports all students with a focus on groups historically underrepresented in medicine, working to cultivate a safe learning environment in which diversity can be nurtured in an inclusive, accepting and productive manner. This unit is lead by our newly appointed Associate Dean for Diverse and Inclusive Education and Associate Dean for Diverse and Inclusive Learning Communities. The Office of Student Learning and Educational Resources is a comprehensive academic support unit providing assistance to students in developing learning strategies that support their academic success and promote life-long learning. The Office of Student Wellness develops and implements medical student wellness initiatives, fostering collaborations that will lead to a culture of excellence and well-being. The Academic Coaching Program utilizes clinical faculty to anchor and guide students throughout their medical school journey.

Candidates selected for interviews will be notified by e-mail. At this stage, only those candidates who have been interviewed can be considered for admission. Decisions for admissions are made on a rolling basis. Acceptances will continue until the class is full. Admission is provisional until candidates complete all required program requirements. Admission decisions are final and thus are not subject to appeal. A student not admitted as a result of the first application may file a second application the following year, however a third application cycle is strongly discouraged. An applicant may request a deferral for up to one year by writing to the Admissions Office. The decision to grant the deferral is made on an individual basis. ***Response to COVID-19 Information for 2026-2027 Admissions Cycle*** The purpose of this message is to address concerns from prospective applicants who are experiencing unprecedented educational upheaval during the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicants for the upcoming application cycle can count on our commitment to the following principles: Pass/Fail Grades \u2013 The UCR SOM will accept pass/fail grades, without prejudice, for courses taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has always been our practice to consider grades in the context of numerous other aspects of the application, and an international crisis certainly provides a unique and compelling context. In making this statement, we are cognizant of the fact that some undergraduate schools are providing an option for students to take courses either for grades or on a Pass/Fail basis. We therefore want to be explicit that applicants should not feel pressured by us to choose the graded option. Online Coursework\u2013 The faculty of the UCR SOM require that students demonstrate a strong foundation that indicates preparedness to engage the curriculum. Our preparation areas are required, however we recognize that there is an increasing degree of variety in premedical course tracks and course offerings at colleges and universities. We further recognize that students may meet these competencies through alternative means or courses, including online. On our secondary application we invite applicants to explain and describe how they have met the requirements through course work and/or additional means. The committee will NOT systematically disqualify candidates due to variation in course completion. The committee will holistically evaluate the preparation of candidates for the school of medicine with a strong focus on science foundation and professional competencies.", "mission": "The mission of the UCR School of Medicine is to improve the health of the people of California and, especially, to serve Inland Southern California by training a diverse workforce of physicians and by developing innovative research and health care delivery programs that will improve the health of the medically underserved in the region and become models to be emulated throughout the state and nation.", "contact_raw": "University of California, Riverside School of Medicine\n900 University Ave.\nRiverside, CA 92521 USA\nPhone: (951) 827-4353\nFax: (951) 827-4353\nEmail: medadmissions@ucr.edu\nWebsite: http://medschool.ucr.edu/admissions", "city": "Riverside", "website": "http://medschool.ucr.edu/admissions", "email": "medadmissions@ucr.edu", "phone": "(951) 827-4353", "interview": {"format": "Interviews will be scheduled on selected weekdays, weeknights, and weekends from September 2026 through March 2027.

Students who have attended a foreign school must have completed at least one year of study at a four-year college in the United States prior to applying. Exceptions may be made for students from Canadian schools - please contact somadmissions@ucsd.edu to inquire. UCSD does not have requirements regarding coursework that must be completed. The following courses are recommended to make our evaluation of your application easier, and to better prepare you for the MCAT and for medical school: One academic year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of college-level Biology One academic year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of college-level General Chemistry One term (1 semester or 1 quarter) of college-level Biochemistry One academic year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of college-level Organic Chemistry. One academic year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of college-level Physics. One academic year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of college-level Calculus or Statistics Laboratory coursework for all courses that offer corresponding labs. Applicants that are missing any of these courses will still be considered. --Policy regarding Pass/No Pass and On-Line coursework due to COVID-19 impact The UCSD School of Medicine will accept, without prejudice, grades of Pass/No Pass for all coursework for Winter 2020, Spring 2020, the entire 2020 - 2021 academic year, and Summer 2021 For coursework outside of these time frames, Pass/No Pass are accepted but we would not recommend more than one course per academic year be taken Pass/No Pass.

The School embodies the university\u2019s dedication to the pursuit of knowledge in service to others through excellence in clinical care, scientific discovery, and the formation of physician-healers. The Georgetown medical experience is grounded in Cura Personalis, care for the whole person encompassing psychological, spiritual, social, and physical well-being. Within an environment integrating rigorous scientific inquiry and compassionate clinical practice, students develop the intellectual, ethical, and professional foundations required to become clinically excellent physicians, innovative scientists, and advocates for underserved communities. Georgetown\u2019s educational mission is strengthened by a culture of research and scholarship. Dual-degree opportunities, including MD-PhD programs in neuroscience, tumor biology, bioethics, and related biomedical sciences, prepare physician-scientists to advance discovery while improving patient care. Clinical education occurs through Georgetown\u2019s partnership with MedStar Health across diverse, high-acuity training environments including MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Students gain experience in oncology, orthopedics, neuroscience, gastroenterology, trauma surgery, transplantation, and complex multidisciplinary care. The MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute provides exposure to advanced multi-organ and intestinal transplantation and highly specialized medical and surgical care. This rigorous clinical training fosters analytical thinking, sound clinical judgment, and evidence-based decision-making while emphasizing compassionate, whole-person care grounded in Jesuit values. Graduates emerge prepared to serve individual patients and advocate for communities with unmet healthcare needs. Georgetown University School of Medicine seeks applicants committed to becoming physician-healers, scientists, and advocates. Service to the underserved remains central to the admissions philosophy and reflective of the Jesuit mission. Independent Scholarly Project (ISP) All medical students complete an Independent Scholarly Project (ISP), a mentored scholarly experience in which students investigate original questions across clinical, translational, educational, or basic science disciplines. The ISP strengthens skills in critical analysis, scientific communication, and evidence-based medicine while reinforcing Georgetown\u2019s commitment to discovery in service of patient care. Racial Justice Committee for Change (RJCC) Guided by commitments to racial justice and health equity, Georgetown supports efforts to eliminate racism across the School of Medicine and medical center. The Racial Justice Committee for Change, composed of students, faculty, and staff, advances sustainable initiatives promoting equity and inclusion in medical education and healthcare delivery. Curriculum Georgetown\u2019s holistic curriculum reflects its Catholic and Jesuit heritage and commitment to social justice. Critical thinking, cognitive integration, and lifelong learning guide curricular design. Cura Personalis unites longitudinal instruction in clinical skills, communication, ethics, and professional identity formation. Community Service Students complete a minimum of 20 hours of community service prior to graduation, reflecting Georgetown\u2019s commitment to service and individualized attention to community needs beyond clinical training.

Admission to the Florida State University College of Medicine (FSU COM) is a highly competitive process with approximately 6,500 applications reviewed to select the students admitted. A number of academic and personal factors are considered by the Admissions Office and the Admissions Committee when admitting students to medical school. The FSU College of Medicine employs a holistic, mission-aligned approach during the admissions process. Regarding admission to the regular M.D. program, we evaluate all of the following: course \u201cload\u201d and undergraduate rigor; graduate course work; service and volunteer record; shadowing and knowledge of the medical field; research activities; likelihood of practicing within the State of Florida; undergraduate grade point average; MCAT score; and degree of \u201cfit\u201d with respect to our unique mission statement. While a truly holistic approach to admissions makes it difficult to establish minimum academic standards, the Florida State University College of Medicine does not \u2013 except in special circumstances \u2013 consider applicants for admissions to the regular M.D. program who do not have an MCAT score of at least 500, and an undergraduate grade point average of 3.5. Special circumstances include students who come from medically, financially, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. Finally, the Florida State University College of Medicine does not \u2013 except under rare circumstances \u2013 consider applicants who are not legal residents of the State of Florida, unless such applicants can demonstrate significant ties to Florida. Please look at our website FAQs for examples of significant ties. If an applicant is currently enrolled in a degree program, the program must be completed and transcripts provided to the FSU COM Admissions Office prior to the beginning of classes, unless an exception is granted by that program. The Admissions Committee at the FSU COM is comprised of approximately 60 members and includes faculty from all FSU COM departments, fourth year medical students, and community physicians. When considering applicants for admission, the Committee utilizes all appropriate information including academic, personal, experiential, and geographic data in the selection process. Personal qualities such as motivation, sensitivity to the needs of others, excellent oral communication skills, and maturity receive particular attention along with strong academic credentials. In addition, personal attributes such as compassion and altruism that are, in the view of the committee, essential to the art of good medical practice are of special interest in the selection process.

UCF COM Admissions Office will not make an offer to a student who has been reported as matriculated to another MD institution. The UCF MD Admissions Office upholds high standards of professionalism and transparency throughout the admissions process. Applicants have consistently lauded the UCF Admissions Office for its transparency in communicating admissions processes and advice to applicants. We believe the more an applicant knows, the better off we all are. Your decision to enroll in an MD program is life-changing.

We advance our mission through a curriculum and learning environment focused on training our students above all to care deeply and well for their patients and for each other. Six core competencies guide the training, assessment and feedback students can expect: medical knowledge, patient care, systems-based practice, professionalism, communication and practice-based guided learning and improvement. Our curriculum organizes the acquisition of medical knowledge and skills using a systems-based approach that integrates basic sciences, clinical sciences, health systems, social sciences, and wellbeing. Faculty nurture students\u2019 professional identity through structured encounters with standardized patients, longitudinal mentorship both individually and in teams and immersion in real world scenarios. We intend for all of our students to become wellrounded leaders in patient advocacy. UF Health\u2019s wide service area promotes health systems-informed practice and an interdisciplinary, team-based culture. Students have easy access to mentors and teachers in over 100 primary care, advanced specialty and subspecialty services. In addition, our students learn from and practice with social services professionals, attending faculty, trainees and patients, among other team members, to coordinate care, problem-solve and improve patient outcomes. The full campus in Gainesville includes Shands Hospital, a quaternary care facility which serves as UF\u2019s main teaching hospital and five co-located affiliate hospitals including a Veterans Affairs hospital and children\u2019s hospital, six health professions colleges and ten research centers/institutes. UF Health Jacksonville, now a regional campus for clerkship years, offers a downtown training hospital and multiple inpatient and outpatient practices serving patients throughout North Florida and South Georgia. We also encourage our students to participate in research and discovery across our academic and clinical enterprises. Eleven scholarly tracks offer short and long term research opportunities. A program based on care will not succeed without an environment that also cares for students. Robust student services include a full-time counselor, full-time learning specialist, structured peer-to-peer mentoring program, wellness curriculum and multiple mechanisms for students to contribute to ongoing program improvement. Our mission informs an admissions practice that seeks those who are not only academically accomplished but medically informed and who exhibit throughout the application a genuine drive to learn, work and serve in intra- and interdisciplinary teams. Successful candidates demonstrate a desire to grow and be challenged personally, academically and professionally. In evaluating the application and interview, we credit the myriad ways that individuals acquire and demonstrate the character, preparation, resilience and skills that contribute to transforming good medical students into excellent physicians. We evaluate the competencies we seek in part by asking applicants to reflect on how their personal values intersect with medicine and to attempt to think like a physician by responding to the narrative of a real patient encounter. As our curriculum emphasizes exceptional patient care within a setting that prioritizes community and student support, the personal attributes that applicants demonstrate are key as we consider who will thrive in and enhance our community. We evaluate these in the written application by way of the quality and consistency of essays, experiences, and letters of recommendation. During the interview phase we conduct one-on-one conversational interviews and incorporate our students and faculty throughout our interview day to introduce future students to our community.", "contact_raw": "University of Florida College of Medicine\nOffice of Admissions\nUF Health Sciences Center\nGainesville, FL 32610 USA\nPhone: (352) 273-7990\nFax: (352) 273-7990\nEmail: med-admissions@ufl.edu\nWebsite: http://admissions.med.ufl.edu", "city": "Gainesville", "website": "http://admissions.med.ufl.edu", "email": "med-admissions@ufl.edu", "phone": "(352) 273-7990", "interview": {"format": "Two partially blind (MCAT and GPA withheld) one-onone interviews with members of our interview committee.", "invitations": "July 2026", "typical_day": "Program consists of short presentations and sessions demonstrating the curriculum and student life in the morning, two interviews and a tour in the afternoon.", "regional": "Regional interviews are not availabe.", "video": "Synchronous live interviews offered for 2027 interview cycle", "tags": {"mmi": false, "traditional": true, "virtual": false, "in_person": false, "asynchronous": false, "blinded": true, "regional": false}}, "applications_accepted": {"out_of_state": {"policy": "yes", "note": "All applicants"}, "canadian": {"policy": "no", "note": "Must be permanent legal residents of the U.S. U.S. citizens or permanent residents who attend Canadian university are eligible."}, "international": {"policy": "no", "note": null}, "daca": {"policy": "no", "note": null}}, "community_college": {"upward_transfer": "yes", "accelerated": "yes", "supplemental": "yes", "info": "We accept lower division prerequisites taken at community colleges.

SSOM will consider deferment requests from candidates holding acceptances from May 1 to June 15, 2026. No deferment requests will be considered beyond June 15. Deferment requests require a formal request to the Dean of Admissions and consideration by the Executive Committee on Admissions. SSOM requires that all applicants who apply consecutively for the third time (or more) petition the Admissions Office to have their new application considered. This policy defines an application as a verified application submitted through AMCAS and sent to SSOM via AMCAS in three or more consecutive cycles. Petitions are considered only when candidates upload the document through the SSOM applicant portal (no other petitions will be accepted). Please title the uploaded document 'Petition for Admissions' when providing this information to the committee via your portal. **Additional notes: \u2022 MCAT- During the 2027 application cycle, we will accept MCAT scores for exams taken after January 2024. Canceled test administrations may cause you to submit your application later than intended. All applications submitted before the December 11, 2026 deadline will receive full consideration. As in previous cycles, you may submit your primary and secondary applications before taking the MCAT. Suppose you have indicated on your primary application that you are registered for an upcoming MCAT date in 2026. In that case, a review of your completed application will not begin until your most recent MCAT score is received. Alternatively, you may wait until you receive your score before submitting your application as long as you submit your secondary application before December 11, 2026. \u2022 Letters of Evaluation - no policy changes. \u2022 Interviews - All candidate interviews will be able to select a live or virtual interview option for the 2026 admissions cycle unless otherwise informed. Live interviews will require proof of vaccination before the visit. We will not need or use the VITA or other asynchronous interview platforms during this cycle. \u2022 We are encouraged to get to know you personally through your application material; as a result, there will be no support for AI-generated applicant responses within any part of your submitted application (primary or secondary).", "mission": "Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM) is committed to scholarship and the education of medical professionals and biomedical scientists.

In particular, it highlights the value we place on service, leadership, and the creation of new knowledge. These values guide both our admissions process and the education that Pritzker students receive. We view our students as future leaders who will make an impact in healthcare and science and are committed to ensuring that our students are well-positioned to successfully pursue the next phase of their training and careers. Our Phoenix Curriculum emphasizes the relationship between the basic/clinical sciences and community/population health while providing students with ample time for self-directed learning, research, community engagement, and training in health equity and medical ethics, while accelerating entry into the clinical clerkships. During phase two of the curriculum, Pritzker students complete the majority of their clinical training at UChicago Medicine (UCM), the only tertiary care center on the South Side of Chicago. UCM, nationally recognized by the AAMC for sustained commitment to community engagement, partnership, and collaboration, has a primary service area where poverty is over double the state level. Additionally, our students lead numerous communitybased initiatives throughout Chicago, including six free clinics that primarily serve uninsured patients.Our Admissions Committee values applicants whose personal mission within medicine includes health justice, equitable delivery of healthcare, and service to underserved and marginalized communities. Our students carry this mission beyond their medical school years, and the majority of our students plan to care primarily for underserved populations during their careers in medicine (2025 AAMC Graduation Questionnaire). Our students are also deeply invested in scholarship and discovery, with access to worldrenowned, interdisciplinary faculty mentors and experts in basic/translational science, health services/data science, community health, global health, medical education, and clinical research. 100% of our students complete a mentored research project, and faculty and students are supported in scholarship and discovery through focused, funded, and longitudinal research experiences embedded within the core curriculum. At the Pritzker School of Medicine, medical students are valued members of our community. Our robust advising and mentorship structure, commitment to student wellbeing and vitality, and atmosphere of collaboration, support, and excellence ensure that the Pritzker medical student is poised to help shape the future of medicine.", "contact_raw": "University of Chicago Division of the Biological Sciences The Pritzker School of Medicine\nOffice of Admissions\nChicago, IL 60637 USA\nPhone: (773) 702-1937\nFax: (773) 702-1937\nEmail: pritzkeradmissions@bsd.uchicago.edu\nWebsite: http://pritzker.uchicago.edu/admissions/", "city": "Chicago", "website": "http://pritzker.uchicago.edu/admissions/", "email": "pritzkeradmissions@bsd.uchicago.edu", "phone": "(773) 702-1937", "interview": {"format": "Three one-on-one interviews via Zoom with a faculty, administrator, and medical student.", "invitations": "August", "typical_day": "Applicants will have three one-on-one interviews with a faculty member, a student, and a Pritzker administrator, along with informational sessions with faculty, staff, and current students.", "regional": "Regional interviews not available", "video": "All interviews will be via video for the 2026-27 cycle.", "tags": {"mmi": false, "traditional": true, "virtual": true, "in_person": false, "asynchronous": false, "blinded": false, "regional": false}}, "applications_accepted": {"out_of_state": {"policy": "yes", "note": "As a private institution, there is no difference in our evaluation or preference for in- and out-of-state applicants."}, "canadian": {"policy": "yes", "note": "We accept applications from Canadian applicants."}, "international": {"policy": "yes", "note": "We accept applications from international applicants."}, "daca": {"policy": "yes", "note": "We accept applications from DACA applicants."}}, "community_college": {"upward_transfer": "yes", "accelerated": "yes", "supplemental": "yes", "info": "Prerequisites taken at a community college can be used to demonstrate our required competencies.

unprecedented circumstances surrounding COVID-19, the University of Kentucky College of Medicine has carefully reviewed its perspective on Pass/Fail grading. To alleviate additional stressors surrounding educational modifications we have decided to accept Pass/Fail grading for prerequisite coursework for Spring Semester 2020 only. The admissions process assesses each applicant for potential to become a successful physician. These attributes form the focus of student evaluation at the time of application and throughout their medical careers. Through adoption of the same core competencies used during residency training, our curriculum is integrated into the continuum of physician professional development. Successful physicians are skilled in six areas, so we look for the following attributes that reflect each of these areas at the time of admission. -Professionalism: Physicians have a unique contract with society that requires them to place the interests of patients above their own, maintain high standards of competence and integrity, and provide expert advice on matters of health. The admissions committee considers the personal statement, evaluation letters, and the interview to evaluate an applicant\u2019s accountability and ethical responsibility. -Interpersonal and Communication Skills: Physicians must effectively communicate with a wide range of colleagues and patients. The admissions committee considers secondary application responses and interview to evaluate an applicant\u2019s social and communication skills. -Practice-Based Learning and Improvement: Lifelong learning is a key skill which requires the ability to self-evaluate one\u2019s knowledge and skills to identify areas for improvement. The admissions committee considers secondary application responses and interview to evaluate an applicant\u2019s capacity for improvement. -Systems-Based Practice: As health care has evolved, a collaborative team of professionals is necessary to provide safe, effective, efficient, timely, patient-centered, and equitable care. The admissions committee considers secondary application responses and interview to evaluate an applicant\u2019s understanding of health care systems and ability to collaborate toward a common goal. -Patient Care: At its heart, a medical career is a calling to serve our patients and communities. The admissions committee considers participation in community service, secondary application responses, and interview to evaluate an applicant\u2019s understanding of this role and dedication to meeting the health care needs of others. -Medical Knowledge: The Kentucky Integrated Curriculum is a rigorous course of study that requires students to not only acquire knowledge, but also synthesize and apply that knowledge to each unique patient scenario. The admissions committee considers applicant grades and MCAT scores as evidence of success in challenging academic settings. In the individual assessment of each applicant, the UKCOM prioritizes other attributes that reflect our mission. Although not essential, certain applicant characteristics will enhance potential to contribute to the college and to the medical profession: -Commitment to the State: As a state medical school, the UK College of Medicine gives preference to Kentucky residents. Non-residents who are underrepresented in medicine (see the AAMC definition of underrepresented in medicine) or who have strong ties to the state (e.g. previous attendance at a Kentucky college or university) may be considered. Regardless of their state of residency, only applicants who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are considered. International applicants who graduated from a Kentucky high school or attended (or are attending) a Kentucky college/university may be considered as well.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring that pre-requisite coursework is completed. Letters of Recommendation are required. We strongly prefer a letter from your Pre-professional Advisory Committee or its equivalent. If you have a Committee evaluation, you need no others. If your Committee sends a packet of letters without a consensus evaluation, then that packet should contain 3-5 signed, dated letters. If your school does not have a Committee, or should you fail to meet their requirements/deadlines, we advise you to get letters from three individual professors. Science professors are preferred. Realize that letters from writers besides your Committee or professors usually provide limited useful information and therefore impact your competitive standing marginally, if at all.

This review process considers a range of characteristics and experiences that are aligned with TUSOM\u2019s mission and values. Academic achievements are important; however, we feel that academic metrics such as test scores and grades do not entirely give an accurate description of a candidate\u2019s character, personal journey, resilience, nor their alignment with our mission and values. Someone\u2019s personal attributes, selfreflection, and their path to medicine show qualities that academic metrics may not. In our holistic admissions process, an individual\u2019s academic metrics are considered in the context of the applicant and in a larger framework of their lived experiences. \u2022 Commitment to service- In this commitment, what did you learn about the community you served? What did you learn about yourself? \u2022 Passion for medicine- On your journey toward medicine, what opportunities did you pursue? How did these experiences shape your view of medicine? Once again, what did you learn about yourself? \u2022 Maturity- How have your past experiences taught you about resiliency and adaptability? How has adversity shaped you into the person you are today and want to be in the future? \u2022 Leadership- What lessons have you learned by being a leader? What traits have you learned from being a follower of a good leader? \u2022 How does your values or your \u201cmission in medicine\u201d align with TUSOM\u2019s mission and values? Academic Metrics As mentioned, TUSOM practices a holistic admission review process. We do not have any minimum GPA requirements or MCAT thresholds to receive a TUSOM secondary application or to receive an interview invitation. With that being said, we do review applicant\u2019s academic history to ensure they can complete our medical curriculum without any delays. Applicants with MCAT scores and undergraduate GPA withing the following ranges are encouraged to apply to our program: \u2022 An MCAT Total of 497-500 (40th-50th percentile) and an undergraduate GPA of 3.80 or higher \u2022 An MCAT total of 500-504 (50th-62nd percentile) and an undergraduate GPA of 3.60 or higher \u2022 An MCAT total of 505 (65th percentile) and above with an undergraduate GPA of 3.30 or higher Only an applicant's total cumulative undergraduate GPA as calculated by AMCAS will be considered with their application. Post-Baccalaureate GPA is factored into the undergraduate GPA. An applicant\u2019s graduate GPA will be considered and can help in the academic review process. All applicants are required to take the MCAT within three (3) years of the year of the application cycle or four (4) years of their matriculation to medical school. Beginning April 30, accepted applicants have the option to \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d at TUSOM. When an applicant selects \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d to TUSOM, they should notify all other institutions where they hold an acceptance or position on the waitlist that they wish to withdraw their acceptance or position on the waitlist from that school. TUSOM reserves the right to rescind an offer of admission to any applicant still holding an active acceptance at another institution while having a \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d status with TUSOM. TUSOM reserves the right to rescind offers of admission from any applicant still holding a TUSOM acceptance while indicating that they either \u201cPlan to Enroll\u201d or \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d at another institution after April 30th. For applicants accepted after April 30th, the timeline for selecting \u201cPlan to Enroll\u201d will be specified by the Assistant Dean for Admissions. All MD applicants planning to matriculate at TUSOM should select the \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d option no later than one week before the first day of orientation. Should an applicant have an extenuating circumstance preventing compliance with this procedure, it is the applicant\u2019s responsibility to notify the TUSOM Office of Admissions and seek an extension or exception.", "mission": "We improve human health and foster healthy communities through discovery and translation of the best science into clinical practice and education; to deliver the highest quality patient care and prepare the next generation of distinguished clinical and scientific leaders.", "contact_raw": "Tulane University School of Medicine\nOffice of Admissions and Student Affairs\n131 S.

Using holistic review, we will continue to evaluate each application individually for core competencies desired in medicine and that align with the mission of Chobanian & Avedisian SOM. Applicants are expected to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree from a four-year college or university that is located in and accredited in the U.S. or Canada. Applicants who have not graduated from an accredited U.S. or Canadian institution, but who completed a minimum of two (2) years in such an institution, including all of the prerequisites, may be considered to be eligible and should bring the details of their record to the attention of the Committee on Admissions. Applicants currently enrolled in a professional or graduate school program must be in the terminal year of the degree program to be considered for admission to the first year class. Applicants must complete all requirements for any academic program in which they are enrolled prior to matriculation. Individuals who have previously matriculated at another medical school are not eligible to apply.", "mission": "Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine is dedicated to the educational, intellectual, professional, and personal development of a diverse group of exceptional students, trainees, and faculty who are deeply committed to the study and to the practice of medicine, to biomedical research, and to the health of the public. We, as a community, place great value on excellence, integrity, service, social justice, collegiality, equality of opportunity, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Chobanian & Avedisian SOM is a social justice medical school. This emphasis on social justice is evident in our curriculum and extra-curricular activities for students, in our faculty\u2019s areas of research and expertise, and in the patients we take care of. Curriculum and Student Activities Our curriculum was updated several years ago to emphasize patient context and social determinants of health. In the classroom, our patients are never simply a patient with a disease, they are a person with a family who lives in a specific place and does a certain type of work\u2026in the clinical setting, our students learn to address each patient\u2019s upstream health needs as well as their acute medical needs; because we\u2019ve learned that the best medical care in the world will fail to make patients healthier if they still lack food, housing, etc. Outside the classroom, our students\u2019 most common activity is to participate in some of the 17 or so service learning groups, which range from the \u201cOutreach Van\u201d street medicine initiative to the \u201cTeen and Tot\u201d facilitated support group for young parents to the Socially Responsible Surgery Club which allows students to visit surgical patients pre-discharge to ensure their understanding of their surgical problem and procedure and plan for follow-up. Faculty Research and Expertise A unique feature of our social justice medical school is that we are in the context of a Tier 1 research university. While our research enterprise is very broad, you see the social justice mission thriving there as well. Examples include the Grayken Center for Addiction, which supports research, education and treatment in addition medicine, in the Health/Care Disparities Research Program within internal medicine, and the Boston SOAR (Surgical Outcomes Analysis and Research) which investigates inequalities in surgical care. 85% of our medical students engage in Research during their time at Chobanian & Avedisian SOM. Patient Population Chobanian & Avedisian SOM\u2019s primary teaching hospital is Boston Medical Center, which serves a primarily under-served and extraordinarily diverse patient population. More than half of our patients are from vulnerable populations who rely on Medicaid and/or medicare for their health insurance; and 32% don\u2019t speak English as their primary language. Through our 12 affiliated neighborhood health centers, we reach deep into the communities of Boston to find the patients that need us the most.", "contact_raw": "Boston University Aram V.

Approximately 35% of each incoming first-year class is composed of nonMassachusetts residents. Eligible applicants include U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, individuals with DACA status, and U.S. asylees or refugees. All non-citizens must provide official documentation of their immigration status. Immigration cases must be fully adjudicated with a positive outcome, and applicants must submit documentation verifying this status. Prospective applicants who are awaiting final decisions on their permanent residency applications are not eligible to apply unless their current immigration status is DACA, refugee, or asylee. If an applicant does not hold one of these statuses but is granted permanent residency before the application deadline, they are welcome to apply. All application materials\u2014including MCAT and PREview scores, and proof of immigration status\u2014must be submitted by the published deadline. The only international applicants eligible to apply currently are Canadian citizens and Canadian permanent residents. Canadian applicants must provide official proof of citizenship or permanent residency. Eligible applicants who have graduated from an international college or university must complete at least one full year of coursework in the biomedical sciences at an accredited U.S. or Canadian institution before applying to the T.H. Chan School of Medicine. Please refer to the T.H. Chan School of Medicine Admissions Requirements website for additional information. Applicants currently enrolled in a professional or graduate program must be in the terminal year of their degree program to be considered for admission. Applicants are expected to complete the academic program in which they are enrolled at any time during the application process and prior to possible matriculation at the T.H. Chan School of Medicine. https://www.umassmed.edu/som/admissions/apply/academic-requirements/ We strongly prefer that prerequisite courses be completed at an applicant\u2019s home undergraduate institution during the standard academic semesters and taken for a letter grade. Exceptions may be made for extenuating circumstances\u2014for example, when online coursework was required due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Applicants should provide an explanation in their application for any deviations from these expectations or from other stated application protocols. Secondary applications must be submitted by December 1, 2026. This deadline includes the submission of MCAT and PREview scores. PREview is required for all applicants including those applying to the MSTP (MD/PhD) program and cannot be substituted with CASPer. All MSTP applicants are required to submit a CV which should be uploaded into the secondary application portal. Applicants are expected to provide committee letters when this is available to them. We will accept individual letters when premed committee letters are not available from the applicant's institution. Individuals who have previously matriculated at another medical school are not eligible to apply to the T.H. Chan School of Medicine other than through the transfer process in the clinical year, and only if there is space in the class and the applicant meets the transfer requirements. https://www.umassmed.edu/som/admissions/apply/transfer-to-school/", "mission": "The mission of UMass Chan Medical School is to advance the health and well-being of the people of the commonwealth and the world through pioneering advances in education, research and health care delivery. The UMass Chan Medical School Office of Admissions is committed to employing the most effective and evidence-based methods to recruit and matriculate future physicians and scientists who will provide the highest quality medical care for our communities in keeping with the mission of the T.H. Chan School of Medicine. Our graduates will contribute in a meaningful way to the elimination of health care disparities and the establishment of health equity in Massachusetts and beyond. Our Office of Admissions advances the mission of UMass Chan by applying a mission aligned review process to every eligible application. We place the highest value on applicant characteristics that reflect our institutional commitments such as commitment to health equity, diversity and inclusion, and service to the community. Our VISTA curriculum has an innovative, integrated structure based on foundational, clinical and health systems sciences. The longitudinal focus topics of health equity, societal forces in health and disease and health systems science are woven into all courses and rotations. At UMass Chan, we believe that patients are whole people, not just a collection of organ systems, and must be seen in the context of their lives. Student and health care provider wellness is highly prioritized as evidenced by the \u201cWIN\u201d week which appears at the end of each foundational block. WIN stands for \u201cWhat I Need\u201d and is an opportunity for students to rest, focus on health and expose themselves to educational enrichment. Our clinical training sites are located across the commonwealth with housing provided where indicated, offering a rich clinical training experience for our learners. In the Exploration Phase, students participate in 12-week integrated units that ensure exposure to inpatient and ambulatory environments in both acute care and chronic disease management. Our Horizons phase focuses on advanced clinical skills and preparation for residency. A unique feature of the VISTA curriculum which is closely aligned with the UMass Chan mission is our pathways. At the main campus in Worcester MA, students will select a pathway for educational focus during their early clinical learning time. These pathways range from \u201cEntrepreneurship Biomedical Innovation and Design\u201d to \u201cStructural Inequity, Advocacy and Justice\u201d. There are two UMass Chan Medical School regional campuses each with their own pathway focus. At our PURCH program at Baystate Health systems, students focus on Population-based Urban and Rural Community Health. Our LEAD@Lahey program at Lahey Health focuses on leadership, innovation, and Health Systems Science. The T.H. Chan School of Medicine mission is woven into everything we do.", "contact_raw": "University of Massachusetts T.H. Chan School of Medicine\nUniversity of Massachusetts T.H.

To be considered for entry in 2027, applicants must provide scores from exams administered through September 2026. Candidates must earn an MCAT score of at least 500 to be considered. GPA - All applicants must have an overall cumulative and science GPA of a 3.0 or higher. The Admissions Committee will not consider applicants with either a science cumulative or an overall cumulative GPA of less than 3.0, unless the applicant also has significant post-baccalaureate or graduate coursework. A competitive applicant would need to have well above the minimum in either their MCAT score or GPA. Meeting only the minimum requirements in both areas is unlikely to result in a successful application. OOS APPLICANTS - Applicants who do not have a legal residence of Missouri on their AMCAS application are welcome to apply. Since the MU School of Medicine is a state funded university, the majority of accepted students (around 80-85%) will have a legal residence of Missouri. Due to a high number of out-of-state applications, OOS applicants must meet certain MCAT and undergraduate cumulative GPA combinations to be considered. If an applicant has taken significant postbaccalaureate or graduate coursework, the graduate cumulative GPA will be considered individually if academic combinations are not met. If applicants meet the academic requirements, they will be emailed an Out-Of-State form (no cost), this form determines the applicants' ties to the state of Missouri.

Please follow the instructions provided on the AMCAS application. Once the application has been verified by AMCAS, it will be sent to the medical schools to which you have applied. The AMCAS application must be submitted by July 1* and verified by August 1*. Official transcripts must be sent to AMCAS and received by July 15*. Any transcripts received after July 15 will not allow the AMCAS application to be processed. Letters of Recommendation must also be submitted through the AMCAS Letter of Recommendation Service by July 1*. Applications submitted to and verified by AMCAS earlier in the process will be reviewed first. Transcripts Official transcripts must be sent to AMCAS by July 15*. AMCAS will not transmit your application if transcripts are not received by July 15*. To prevent delays from occurring, you should use the AMCAS Transcript Request form when requesting that official transcripts be sent to AMCAS in support of your application. You can find this form in the Schools Attended section of the AMCAS application. Letters of Recommendation The School of Medicine participates in the AMCAS letter of recommendation program, and all letters of recommendation must be submitted through the AMCAS letter of recommendation service. Letters of recommendation sent directly to the School of Medicine will not be accepted or used in the admission process. It is recommended that letters come from those who can speak to your academic ability and other personal characteristics as they relate to medical school. Family members and/or friends of the family should not provide letters of recommendation. A minimum of three letters of recommendation is required. UMKC School of Medicine will accept committee letters completed by three of more individuals. Official MCAT Scores Applicants must sit for the MCAT by the end of July to guarantee an on-time review. For applicants selected for an interview, the August MCAT will be considered in the final review process. Step 2: Secondary Application All applicants must complete the secondary application, the General Application for Admission to UMKC. Applicants should not wait for a secondary invite in order to complete the General Application for Admission to UMKC. The application and $50 application fee must be submitted by August 8, 2026. For additional instructions, check out Steps for submitting the General App for the MD Only program. Step 3: Supplemental Application (MD Student Portal) All applicants must submit the School of Medicine Technical Standards. Applicants will receive a supplemental invite with information related to the electronic completion of the Technical Standards. Applicants will not receive the supplemental invite (UMKC MD portal) until after they have been verified by AMCAS. The deadline to submit is August 8, 2026. By receiving the supplemental invite, students will have access to the UMKC student portal. In the UMKC student portal, students must complete a final submission of the supplemental application. The final submission cannot be completed until the letters of reference, Technical Standards and General Application for Admission to UMKC have been processed and marked as complete. Applicants can only complete the final submission after all application components are marked as complete in the UMKC student portal under the Supplemental Application tab.

Apply advances in research, education and health care for the betterment of the human condition, locally and globally. Educating tomorrow\u2019s leaders in biomedicine involved reimagining a medical curriculum that fosters both self-directed and team-based learning. The Gateway Curriculum, implemented in 2020, provides exposure to research and advocacy in basic science, clinical-translational science, public and population health, primary care, and the social sciences, as well as longitudinal experiences with patients in community-based settings. Such a dynamic curriculum enables students to create new science that will enrich the health of our community, while becoming empathic practitioners who will commit to eliminating intractable and unconscionable health disparities. Our Gateway Curriculum ensures that our students are not only exceptional physicians, but that they understand the social and structural determinants of health and are prepared to lead transformational changes needed to improve our future. The EXPLORE program within Gateway is a formalized approach to career development that helps students find their niche in academic medicine among four pathways: Advocacy/Global Health, Education, Innovation, and Research.

We will accomplish this by achieving excellence and providing leadership in the interrelated areas of patient care, education, and research. Our school\u2019s mission informs the structure and content of our curriculum. Our curriculum reflects the ever-changing practice of medicine, meets the desire for early career differentiation and exploration, and promotes social justice as a cornerstone for equitable and safe healthcare. Our school\u2019s mission impacts student life and support services. Our student support bench is extensive to promote learning in a respectful and diverse environment. We have an Advisory College system which provides a more accessible social and educational structure in the context of a large student body. Our Wellness Program includes group discussions surrounding stress, coping, loss, and more. One-on-one counseling, with therapists, provide services dedicated to medical students and increases access for our students. UNC SOM has a multipronged strategy to optimize the Learning Environment including enhanced reporting structures, robust incident management, bystander training, and intentional culture change. Students arrive to medical school at varying points developmentally in their professional identity formation. The Student Professionalism Committee assures that students are educated and held to the highest standards of professionalism by addressing professionalism issues with an eye towards education and support rather than disciplinary action. The Office of Academic Excellence (OAE) provides academic support for students across all training sites around the state. The OAE\u2019s goal is to enable students from all backgrounds to be academically successful in medical school and prepared to pursue the careers of their choosing. Our school\u2019s mission influences admissions practices and priorities. To care for and represent our state and our nation, the UNC SOM recruits students from a variety of lived experiences to create a socially responsible highly skilled workforce. We not only wish to recruit primary care doctors and individuals who wish to practice in rural communities, but also recruit individuals who will be leaders in academia, science, and industry. We believe that interaction between students with varying clinical, research, and education interests enhances the experience of students at the UNC SOM. Particular programs that help us achieve our goals are described below. The Community Health Track is a partnership that has grown from the pre-existing accelerated FIRST Program and the Kenan Rural Scholars Program. Leadership from FIRST and Kenan recognized the opportunity for collaboration and the creation of a dedicated track experience for students with shared interests, including rural and underserved care, commitment to the state of North Carolina, and the desire to work within Primary Care. The UNC MD-PhD Program prepares high-achieving students to be leaders in academic medicine and scientific health discovery. The primary goal of the MD-PhD Program is to train physician-scientists, fully capable of bridging the gap between science and clinical medicine. The Medical Educational Development program (MED) is a summer pipeline program for aspiring medical and dental students. Our school\u2019s mission is reflected in the professional activities of our graduates. After graduation, our students train in competitive residency programs at top institutions across our state and country ( https://www.med.unc.edu/ome/studentaffairs/residency-and-thematch/residency-placements/ ). Beyond residency, we are proud to see our graduates joining the faculty of top academic centers, as well as successfully practicing clinical medicine.", "contact_raw": "University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine\nOffice of Admissions\nCB #9500\nChapel Hill, NC 27599-9500 USA\nPhone: (919) 962-8331\nFax: (919) 962-8331\nEmail: admissions@med.unc.edu\nWebsite: http://www.med.unc.edu/admit", "city": "Chapel Hill", "website": "http://www.med.unc.edu/admit", "email": "admissions@med.unc.edu", "phone": "(919) 962-8331", "interview": {"format": "Interviews are conducted virtually on Zoom.", "invitations": "Typically, interview invitations are sent starting in late July/August.", "typical_day": "The interview day will consist of virtual interviews with representatives from the School of Medicine community, and the format will include traditional interviews.", "regional": "Interviews are conducted virtually.", "video": "Interviews are conducted virtually on Zoom.", "tags": {"mmi": false, "traditional": true, "virtual": true, "in_person": false, "asynchronous": false, "blinded": false, "regional": false}}, "applications_accepted": {"out_of_state": {"policy": "yes", "note": "https://www.med.unc.edu/admit/requirements/academicrequirements/"}, "canadian": {"policy": "yes", "note": "Yes.

This mission guides various aspects of the school, from recruitment and admissions to curriculum design and student life, ultimately shaping the professional identity of graduates. Creighton\u2019s mission emphasizes the development of compassionate, ethical, and serviceoriented physicians. As such, the admissions process is designed to prioritize candidates who demonstrate a commitment to service, social responsibility, and alignment with the school\u2019s Jesuit values. The school values diversity and seeks applicants who are not only academically accomplished but also possess the qualities of empathy, integrity, and a passion for helping others. This results in a holistic admissions process that evaluates academic performance, life experiences, leadership, and an applicant\u2019s desire to engage in the community and serve the underserved. This approach attracts students who are aligned with the mission of serving others, particularly in under-resourced communities. The curriculum at Creighton University School of Medicine is rooted in the Jesuit values of cura personalis (care for the whole person), service to others, and ethical practice. The content and structure of the curriculum reflect a balance between the scientific and humanistic aspects of medicine. The school incorporates service learning, community outreach, and clinical experiences that emphasize empathy, cultural competence, and patient-centered care. Students engage in hands-on opportunities to serve in local and global health initiatives, with the goal of cultivating physicians who are not only skilled but also compassionate and socially conscious. Additionally, the curriculum encourages critical thinking and ethical decision-making, fostering future leaders who will advocate for healthcare improvements and social justice. The Jesuit mission of Creighton places a strong emphasis on the development of students as individuals who are prepared to serve society and lead ethically. Student life is shaped by the school\u2019s commitment to holistic development, providing a supportive environment for students to grow academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Students are encouraged to engage in service activities, reflection, and personal development programs. The school offers counseling, mentorship, and wellness resources to support students' well-being and academic success. There is a strong sense of community within the student body, with collaborative learning and a focus on building relationships that reflect the values of empathy, respect, and care for others. Additionally, support services such as career counseling, faculty mentorship, and access to healthcare resources help students navigate the challenges of medical school while maintaining a balance between personal and academic growth. Graduates of Creighton University School of Medicine carry forward the mission of the institution in their professional lives, contributing to healthcare in ways that are grounded in ethical practice, compassionate care, and a commitment to underserved populations. Many Creighton graduates pursue careers in primary care, family medicine, and specialties that serve disadvantaged communities. They are trained to approach their patients as whole individuals, with respect for their unique experiences, cultural backgrounds, and needs. Many also take on leadership roles in healthcare systems, advocacy, and public health, working to improve access to care and reduce health disparities. The values instilled at Creighton also lead graduates to serve in international settings, offering their skills and knowledge to underserved populations around the world. Overall, the mission of Creighton\u2019s School of Medicine fosters graduates who are not only skilled clinicians but also compassionate and socially responsible leaders in healthcare.", "contact_raw": "Creighton University School of Medicine\nCriss Health Science Center Room 102\nOmaha, NE 68178 USA\nPhone: (800) 325-4405\nFax: (800) 325-4405\nEmail: medadmissions@creighton.edu\nWebsite: https://www.creighton.edu/medicine", "city": "Omaha", "website": "https://www.creighton.edu/medicine", "email": "medadmissions@creighton.edu", "phone": "(800) 325-4405", "interview": {"format": "All interviews will be conducted virtually with two open-file one-on-one interviews with a faculty/staff member and a current student during the week and a live Friday wrap up session.

UNMC has historically accepted the completion of coursework online in limited situations, but highly encourages classroom application for lectures/labs for science entrance requirements. Letters of Evaluation \u2013 Two letters of recommendation from undergraduate faculty members are required; one in the Premedical science area.

This additional application requires brief responses to three questions designed to gain a better understanding of their motivation to enter healthcare, as well as short-and long term goals. Interview \u2022 Once your admissions application is complete it will be reviewed by our Admissions Committee. If after review the Admissions Committee deems you eligible to be interviewed, you will receive notification from our office with instructions on how to schedule an interview. \u2022 Qualified applicants will be invited for an interview at SOM. An applicant will not be considered for an interview before their application is complete (please see the checklist below). The intent of the interview will be not only for SOM to learn about you, but also for you to learn about the SOM. The interviewer will strive to make the applicant comfortable asking questions and gathering information about the SOM. The ultimate goal of the interview will be to help both the SOM and you decide whether or not they are right for one another. Committee Decisions \u2022 Offers of admission will be made on a rolling basis by e-mail. \u2022 Accepted applicants must respond within two weeks with their intention to accept or decline the offer of admission. \u2022 A deposit of $100 will be required to accept the offer; the deposit is refundable on or before April 30th. \u2022 All offers of admission are conditional upon receiving final transcripts and all other required information including a satisfactory criminal background check.", "mission": "To develop our students, residents, fellows, faculty, and healthcare environment to deliver the highest quality care for all. \u25cf Embrace and model our professional reverence for the human condition, empathy towards suffering, excellence in medical care, research and discovery, and humility in service; \u25cf Continue to serve and learn from the engagement of underrepresented minority populations among student, faculty, staff, and community; \u25cf Integrate lifelong learning and inquiry into their practice; \u25cf Work in communion with scholars and practitioners of other disciplines to integrate their perspectives, experiences, and tools; and \u25cf Understand that context, community, and behavior, drive well-being.", "contact_raw": "Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine\nNutley, NJ 07110 USA\nPhone: (862) 660-5002\nFax: () Email: SOMAdmissions@hmhn.org\nWebsite: https://www.hmsom.org/admissions/", "city": "Nutley", "website": "https://www.hmsom.org/admissions/", "email": "SOMAdmissions@hmhn.org", "phone": "(862) 660-5002", "interview": {"format": "One on one", "invitations": "September 2026", "typical_day": "Currently interviews are conducted virtually.", "regional": "no", "video": "Yes", "tags": {"mmi": false, "traditional": true, "virtual": true, "in_person": false, "asynchronous": false, "blinded": false, "regional": false}}, "applications_accepted": {"out_of_state": {"policy": "yes", "note": "."}, "canadian": {"policy": "no", "note": null}, "international": {"policy": "no", "note": null}, "daca": {"policy": "no", "note": null}}, "community_college": {"upward_transfer": "yes", "accelerated": "no", "supplemental": "yes", "info": "Pre-requisite coursework completed at U.S accredited community colleges will be accepted."}, "daca": {"accepts": "no", "details": null}, "secondary": {"required": "yes", "fee_text": "$100", "fee_usd": 100, "sent_to": "All AMCAS verified applicants", "fee_waiver": "yes", "deadline_text": "12/8/2026", "deadline": "2026-12-08"}, "letters": {"committee": "Accepted", "packets": "Accepted", "individual": "Preferred"}, "waitlist": {"positions_text": null, "offers_text": null, "procedures": "The waitlist is created by the Admissions Committee and it is not ranked."}, "deposit": {"in_state": "$100", "out_of_state": "$100", "required": "Yes", "refundable_by": null, "due": "July 1, 2026", "refundable": "Yes", "applied_to_tuition": "Yes"}, "tuition": {"in_state": {"total_coa": 127852, "tuition_fees": 78335, "health_insurance": 6090}, "out_of_state": {"total_coa": 125352, "tuition_fees": 78335, "health_insurance": 6090}}, "debt": {"pct_receiving_aid": 80.0, "avg_graduate_indebtedness": 247297}, "mcat_dates": {"latest": "September 30, 2026", "oldest": "September 2023"}, "transfer": {"accepts": "no", "contact": null}, "preview": {"policy_text": "We are requiring applicants to submit PREview scores", "status": "required"}, "short_name": "Hackensack Meridian", "control": "private", "admissions_url": "https://www.hmsom.edu/en/Admissions/Admission-Process-and-Procedures", "class_profile_url": "https://scprod.hmsom.org/-/media/project/hmh/hmh/hmsom/hmsom/files/2024-data-book.pdf", "stats": {"mcat": 510, "mcat_kind": "median", "gpa": 3.69, "gpa_kind": "median", "science_gpa": null, "mcat_10th": null, "mcat_90th": null, "mcat_range_low": null, "mcat_range_high": null, "gpa_10th": null, "gpa_90th": null, "applicants": 6176, "interviewed": 653, "accepted": 543, "matriculants": 162, "pct_in_state": 53.1, "pct_women": 48.8, "pct_first_generation": null, "year": 2023, "source_url": "https://scprod.hmsom.org/-/media/project/hmh/hmh/hmsom/hmsom/files/2024-data-book.pdf"}, "in_state_preference": null, "casper_school": {"status": "not_stated", "source_url": "https://www.hmsom.edu/en/Admissions/Admission-Process-and-Procedures"}, "preview_school": {"status": "not_stated", "source_url": "https://www.hmsom.edu/en/Admissions/Admission-Process-and-Procedures"}, "interview_stated": null, "notes": "Figures are from the school's 2024 Data Book (Fall 2023 entering class): 6,176 complete applications, 4,129 applicants considered, 653 interviewed, 543 acceptance letters, 162 new entrants; undergraduate GPA median 3.69 / mean 3.76; median MCAT 510 for the 2023-2024 cycle (511, 512, 513, 514 for the four prior cycles). pct_in_state (86 of 162), pct_women (79 of 162) and pct_urm (21 of 162) computed from the applicants table; a separate residence chart shows 61.02% New Jersey for entering 2023 students.

Applicants are required to have completed a minimum of three years of college (90 semester hours of coursework, excluding military and physical education) and to provide MCAT scores from a test taken within three years prior to the application and no later than September of the application year. We strongly encourage early submission and completion of the application. Applicants may register and take the CASPer or AAMC PREview exam at any point before or after submitting their AMCAS application. RWJMS is committed to building a well-rounded class. We believe that students with a variety of interests and experiences enrich the educational environment for all learners. With an increasing focus on active learning and self-directed education, the opportunity to explore critical issues such as health and disease, the physician-patient relationship, and the impact of culture on patient care is significantly influenced by the student body. Given the high number of qualified applicants, those selected for interviews are chosen based on their potential to contribute something unique to RWJMS. While applicants will not have identical profiles, they will each demonstrate the potential to bring valuable perspectives to both the RWJMS community and the medical profession. The admissions committee utilizes a mission-focused review. Selection for interviews is based on a comprehensive evaluation of the applicant's experiences, achievements, personal qualities, and potential to enhance the learning environment and further our mission. All components of the application, including academic records, personal and professional experiences, letters of recommendation, personal statement and secondary responses, and CASPer\u2122 or AAMC PREview assessments, are considered in the review process.

School Core Values: Respect, dignity, and humanism for the diverse community we serve and the diverse community we are; Wellness and resilience; Joining learners hand-in-hand with care delivery; Making patients first with safe, compassionate, high-quality care; Science to advance human health. Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School is dedicated to excellence in medical education and to developing ethical and culturally competent physicians. Students are encouraged toward a lifelong commitment to learning and professional growth. Education Mission: The medical education program aspires to be a nationally recognized program. It is a patient-centered program that prepares medical learners to become resilient and adaptable physicians who provide high value, ethical and appropriate healthcare in an ever changing system; communicate respectfully and effectively in a patient and family centered fashion; collaborate with other health care professionals to devise treatment plans and strategies for adherence and self-care, tailored to the needs and preferences of the patient; integrate the scientific underpinnings of clinical medicine and best evidence into daily practice; and who distinguish themselves as medical professionals in discovery, service and leadership. A key aspect of our mission is having graduates who can provide care \u201ctailored to the needs and preferences of the patient,\u201d and therefore, we recruit and admit students whose experiences and backgrounds can enrich the learning environment and who share a wide range of perspectives. The health equity competency ensures our students understand and can serve the community in which they practice. Our students engage in a wide range of enrichment activities and distinguish themselves in areas such as research, medical education, leadership, climate health, entrepreneurship, global health, humanities, and service to the community, to name a few. They are prepared to practice in a variety of healthcare environments, from the academic medical center to local community hospitals, office practices, federally qualified health centers, and the home. They fulfill the school\u2019s missions by pursuing a wide range of specialties, including primary care. Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) are moving forward with plans to integrate into a unified Future Rutgers School of Medicine, anticipated to launch in the 2027\u20132028 academic year, pending accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).

Mission Impact in Admissions \u2022 We observe mission-aligned selection practices when assessing applicants. Once minimum requirements have been met, we blind interviewers to the MCAT, GPA, and academic record of applicants. This allows us to select applicants who align with our mission and who are committed to improving healthcare in our local communities. \u2022 We recognize the importance of rural and community physicians in addressing health equity issues. By involving them in our admissions committee they provide valuable perspectives to the selection process. \u2022 In an effort to support applicants unsuccessful in gaining admissions, and/or from rural and underserved communities or low socioeconomic backgrounds, we provide a post application workshop, and individual consultations with specific recommendations to help individuals improve future applications. Mission Impact in Medical School Curriculum \u2022 We provide students with the opportunity to engage in faculty-mentored scholarly projects related to health care issues in local communities. The focus on the Rural and Urban Underserved Program (RUUP) adds a significant dimension by allowing students to work directly with medically underserved communities. \u2022 The Practical Immersion Experience is a 6-week rural community-based clinical preceptorship, where students live in the assigned community. This provides a unique and immersive learning opportunity with first-hand experience to observe and understand daily life in a rural community, gaining insights into the specific community healthcare challenges and needs. \u2022 Medical students participate in Learning Communities, which provide students with a support structure that includes a faculty mentor and upper classmates. This fosters a sense of community and mentorship, creating a supportive environment for students. \u2022 Incorporating Cultural Humility into our curriculum provides opportunities for students to learn about the populations they serve, such as teaching about use of birthing sashes in Navajo births and cleansing ceremony for local tribal and Native students. This approach enriches educational experience for students, and prepares them to provide culturally sensitive and patient-centered care. Mission Impact in Medical School Student Support \u2022 The HSC Center for Native American Health plays a pivotal role in addressing healthrelated needs and fostering collaboration within Native American Communities. Its specialization in various areas include; student and workforce development, community engagement, community-based participatory research, community health assessment capacity building, program planning, and project management. \u2022 The Learning Environment Office mission is to foster an inclusive learning environment where teachers, staff, and learners thrive, and relationships are mutually respectful and beneficial to each other and to institutional climate. The initiatives, such as the speaker series, demonstrate a commitment to fostering respect, connection, and inclusion. Mission Impact in Graduates \u2022 2025, UNM SOM ranked in Tier 1 for its Primary Care program in the US News and World Report.

This includes any retakes intended for the cycle in order to meet the minimum score of 499. There are no exceptions for late testing or scores that do not meet the minimum. Online Prerequisite Coursework The Kerkorian School of Medicine accepts any instruction delivery format for our required prerequisites for application. This means the course can be taken in-person, hybrid, or online. Courses must still be from a U.S. college/university that is regionally accredited and need to be less than 10 years old at the time of application. Pass/Fail Prerequisite Coursework Consideration for prerequisite courses that were graded as pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory due to COVID-19 may be accepted from the following semesters without prejudice: Winter 2020, Spring 2020, Summer 2020, Fall 2020, Winter 2021, Spring 2021, Summer 2021, Fall 2021. Consideration for prerequisite courses that were graded as pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory due to the December 2024 shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas may be accepted without prejudice for the Fall 2024 semester. If you are applying from a school that had a similar tragedy that also resulted in a pass/fail grade on a prerequisite instead of a letter grade, please email the office of admissions at the time of your application. For more information on how pass/fail affects the AMCAS GPA calculation, please visit their website. Application Deadline AMCAS applications may be submitted until October 1 each cycle. For an interactive calendar related to the AMCAS process, please visit the AAMC website. You may submit an AMCAS application to the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV if you have an anticipated MCAT test date that is occurring by October 1. We will wait for your score to come in. Similarly, you can also submit if you have letters of recommendation pending. Again, we will wait for those to arrive, however at least three qualifying letters must be in by October 1. UNLV is no longer participating in the Early Decision Program. Applicants who have a strong interest in UNLV should simply apply early in the cycle. Interviews The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV has permanently gone to a fully virtual interview process with components that are both asynchronous and virtual-live in nature.

Applications will not be considered until MCAT scores are available. Letters of recommendation and the Supplemental Application must be received by December 1. International students are not eligible to apply. Einstein strives to matriculate outstanding students whose academic accomplishments, clinical experiences, community service and research indicate that they will become exceptional healers, educators, colleagues, patient advocates, scientists, role models and life-long learners. We are committed to identifying individuals who already have demonstrated the qualities of compassion, empathy, kindness, creativity, professionalism, leadership and maturity. A diverse student body is consistent with the history and mission of Einstein and supports a key educational objective to raise the cultural awareness and competence of our graduates. Medicine is increasingly appreciated as a discipline that requires skills and abilities that are acquired through experiences and venues both inside and outside the classroom. In response and to prepare applicants for mission-aligned review that will evaluate, equally, personal characteristics and academic readiness for medical school, Einstein has instituted a competencybased admissions process. We believe that this approach will allow applicants the opportunity to demonstrate the complex personal dimensions that contribute to being a good doctor, in addition to the cognitive capabilities that have traditionally identified applicants as being ready for the academic rigor of medical school. This \"competency-based\" approach also provides candidates greater flexibility, for example, by substituting laboratory experience gained, while employed, for laboratory and or course requirements taken in school, or by substituting online courses that free up time to pursue interests that enhance the applicant's level of maturity and readiness for the medical profession. The Committee on Admissions will use the entire application to ensure that the candidate has demonstrated reasonable accomplishment of all of the identified competencies; this includes the AMCAS application, academic record, personal comments, roster of experiences, letters of recommendation, the Einstein secondary application, written and verbal communication with the Admissions Office, and interview (where applicable). There are 4 competencies (which can be viewed in detail at: https://www.einsteinmed.edu/education/md-program/admissions/application-procedure/ 1.Co-Curricular Activities and Relevant Experiences 2.Communication Skills 3.Personal and Professional Development 4.Knowledge Whereas course work at a four-year college or university is our benchmark, if a student meets a competency component via an alternate route such as through laboratory experience, through an advanced placement course, a course taken at a community college, a course taken abroad (during a semester abroad for which the undergraduate U.S. degree-granting institution gives credit, or for which AMCAS will verify and report the grade), or an online course, he or she should seek guidance from his or her advisor to ensure that the option meets the above guidelines as well as the rigorous academic standard required by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. MCATS Applicants must take the MCATs not later than September of the year preceding matriculation and not later than three years prior to application.", "mission": "Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a research-intensive medical school.

At Albert Einstein College of Medicine, we train M.D. students to understand and embrace their future role as physicians. We foster an environment in which students learn from each other, our expert clinical and research faculty, and our community, through clinical experiences and servicelearning opportunities. Our students develop into critical thinkers who embrace the science of medicine and further our understanding of health. We educate future leaders who want to change medicine. Not just within a discipline, but in how healthcare is practiced. Compassion, collaboration, and collegiality are the hallmarks of an Einstein education. From our mission aligned admission process and noncompetitive pass/fail system to our service learning course and opportunities for research and dual degrees, we value and support each student as you pursue your interests and launch your career in medicine. As an Einstein graduate, you leave school prepared to excel as a healer, scientist, advocate, educator, colleague, role model, and life-long learner.", "contact_raw": "Albert Einstein College of Medicine\nOffice of Admissions\nJack and Pearl Resnick Campus\nBronx, NY 10461 USA\nPhone: (718) 430-2106\nFax: (718) 430-2106\nEmail: admissions@einsteinmed.edu\nWebsite: https://einsteinmed.edu/about/", "city": "Bronx", "website": "https://einsteinmed.edu/about/", "email": "admissions@einsteinmed.edu", "phone": "(718) 430-2106", "interview": {"format": "Applicants invited for an interview will meet, virtually, with one member of the Admissions Committee.

November 16th @ 11:59pm ET. To facilitate timely review, applicants are strongly encouraged to complete and submit both applications as early as possible. COURSEWORK/GRADES We will accept pass/fail grades for coursework (including labs) pursuant to the COVID grading policies that were in effect at the undergraduate or graduate institution(s) where these courses were completed. Online courses taken during these specific semesters will also be accepted. We understand applicants may have concerns about the impact of pass/fail grades during COVID may have had on their GPA. The admissions committee takes this into account when conducting its assessment of a candidate\u2019s academic readiness to succeed in our accelerated three-year curriculum. INTERVIEWS Virtual interviews are conducted September through mid-December. Applications are continuously reviewed throughout the interview season and applicants may be invited for an interview at any time during this period. POST INTERVIEW STATUS Interviewed applicants can expect to be notified approximately 4-6 weeks after their interview date with one of three outcomes: 1. Advanced to final pool for acceptance consideration 2. Application has been placed 'on hold' and may be reviewed again later in the application cycle 3. Candidate is no longer considered for a spot in the entering class ADMISSION DECISIONS NYU GLISOM is committed to giving every candidate in the final pool full consideration for acceptance. Therefore, we do not offer rolling admissions. Initial acceptance offers are made on a single notification date in mid-February via personal phone call from a member of the admissions committee. All other final pool candidates are notified on this date via email if they have been placed on our waitlist or no longer considered for a spot in the entering class. We only maintain 24 accepted students at one time. Applicants are accepted off the waitlist should a spot associated with their selected residency track become available. To help manage expectations, waitlisted applicants are notified as soon as all accepted candidates in a specific residency track have committed to enroll (CTE) to NYU GLISOM and no additional acceptances for that track are expected.

VISION Our vision is to improve the health of the communities we serve by advancing medical education, scientific discovery, and comprehensive, equitable, collaborative health care delivery. * * * * * * * * NYU Grossman LONG ISLAND School of Medicine (NYU GLISOM) is one of two distinct medical schools under the nationally ranked NYU Langone Health System banner affiliated with New York University (NYU). NYU GLISOM's specific mission is to address the growing physician workforce shortage of general practitioners in primary care fields and empower our graduates to become leaders in the delivery of high-quality, value-based, coordinated, and equitable healthcare that is patient-focused, family-centered and community-based. Our pioneering, three-year, accelerated undergraduate medical education program combines innovations in medical education together with exceptional clinical training that is anchored in the principles of primary care and health systems science. By streamlining entry into clinical practice by one full year, we enable our graduates to impact the health of the community as quickly as possible. Further, we pair students' acceptance to the medical school with the offer of a directedpathway to residency at our teaching hospital, NYU Langone Hospital-Long Island, in specific primary care fields: internal medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics & gynecology. Candidates interested in family medicine may apply via the internal medicine track. Though family medicine is not among the NYU GLISOM directed-pathway to residency options, final year students are successfully positioned to match externally to family medicine residency programs. Three-year Full-Tuition Scholarships are awarded to all students regardless of financial need or merit and additional need-based Debt-Free Scholarships are offered to students who financially qualify - to help pay for costs of attendance above tuition - enabling NYU GLISOM students to graduate unencumbered by excessive student debt. Our comprehensive admissions review process directly aligns with our primary care mission and three-year, accelerated educational program that offers of a directed pathway to residency at the time of admission. We seek exceptionally academically qualified candidates who demonstrate (1) a clear commitment to the principles of primary care and (2) significant experience in the field of medicine associated with their selected residency track. To best prepare our graduates to become critical thinkers and life-long learners, NYU GLISOM\u2019s curriculum has a strong emphasis on \u2018active learning\u2019 that incorporates a problem-based, small-group, collaborative approach. Unparalleled longitudinal support, advising, and mentoring is also an integral part of the program to insure students' success and well-being in all aspects of their medical school journey. Additionally, the small-size of our program fosters a unique sense of community and camaraderie among students, faculty and senior leaders which directly aligns with the team-based mindset that personifies a primary care physician. Though we are a small school, we seek to make a big impact and the entire NYU GLISOM community takes great pride in the success of our graduates who serve as exemplars of our primary care mission and vision - many of whom have become leaders in their residency programs, continue to be engaged in impactful scholarly research, and selflessly give back to the communities they now serve.", "contact_raw": "NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine\nOffice of Admissions\nMineola, NY 11501-3957 USA\nPhone: (516) 240-7240\nFax: (516) 240-7240\nEmail: medli.admissions@nyulangone.org\nWebsite: https://medli.nyu.edu/admissions", "city": "Mineola", "website": "https://medli.nyu.edu/admissions", "email": "medli.admissions@nyulangone.org", "phone": "(516) 240-7240", "interview": {"format": "Our interview format consists of two 70-minute segments: (1) Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) circuit (2) Interactive team-based group activity", "invitations": "Interview invitations for the 2027 application cycle will be sent beginning early-mid August, 2026.

Secondary applications must be fully complete including MCAT score and supplemental application by January 31st. It is the policy of the NYMC School of Medicine to seek to admit a diverse class with respect to gender, cultural, and economic background and life experience. The School believes a diverse student body provides a valuable educational experience that prepares its medical students for the real world of medical practice in a multicultural society. The Committee on Admissions has the difficult task of selecting an entering class from thousands of applicants. There are many more applicants who meet the qualifications for the study of medicine than can be admitted to an incoming class. Each applicant is subject to an individualized holistic review - defined by the AAMC as a process of assessing an applicant\u2019s capabilities by which balanced consideration is given to foundational experiences, personal attributes and academic metrics and, when considered in combination, how the individual might contribute value as a medical student and physician. The Committee strives to select those candidates who demonstrate proficiency in the Core Competencies for Entering Medical Students that have been endorsed by the AAMC Group of Student Affairs (GSA) and Committee on Admissions (COA). These competencies fall into four categories: (1) Interpersonal; (2) Intrapersonal; (3) Thinking and Reasoning; and (4) Science. The Committee believes these foundational competencies are essential for success in medical school and future professional practice. As a future medical student candidates should have a college education that includes premedical science coursework required for medical school as well as a broad exposure to the humanities and social sciences. Academic competence to succeed in medical school is assessed by the applicant\u2019s college record including GPA and MCAT scores. An applicant must also demonstrate excellent observation and communication skills as well as the motor function and conceptual, integrative and quantitative skills required for the study of medicine. As a future physician, an applicant must have the physical capacity and emotional maturity to complete medical school and practice medicine independently. These skills are outlined in the NYMC School of Medicine Technical Standards for Admissions and Continued Enrollment.", "mission": "New York Medical College is a graduate health sciences university whose purpose is to educate physicians, scientists, public health specialists, and other healthcare professionals, and to conduct biomedical and population-based research.

With a legacy of excellence and a commitment to innovation, we deliver personalized, compassionate care, conduct pioneering biomedical research, and train the next generation of healthcare leaders to advance care to patients locally and around the world. Medical Education Mission At Weill Cornell Medical College, our medical education mission is to educate, inspire, and empower the next generation of physicians and physician assistants to lead with purpose, compassion, and vision. Through our MD and PA programs, we prepare students not only to practice medicine but to become trusted, humanistic clinicians grounded in clinical excellence, scholarship, and a deep commitment to the patient. We believe professional identity is not bestowed; it is built. Our students are challenged to engage deeply, reflect thoughtfully, and grow through rigorous training, close mentorship, and meaningful connection with peers, faculty, and patients. At every stage, we foster a learning environment that encourages curiosity, accountability, and lifelong learning. Scholarship is integrated throughout both the M.D. and PA programs, not only as a requirement but as a mindset. We cultivate habits of inquiry, evidence-based practice, and critical thinking that fuel discovery and improve care. Whether through research, quality improvement, or innovations in education and health systems, our graduates are prepared to contribute meaningfully to the future of medicine. Our curricula are designed to be dynamic, relevant, and focused on the future. They strengthen clinical reasoning, embrace new technologies, and support collaboration across disciplines. Through strong academic and clinical partnerships, we prepare our graduates to lead in a healthcare system that demands adaptability, empathy, and bold thinking.

\u2013 The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine uses a holistic review and has no prerequisite courses (i.e., prerequisites are typically courses for which a letter grade is required by other programs). Since we do not have any prerequisite course requirements, we have no singular recommendation or policy for applicants regarding the impact of a pass/fail or letter grade on their candidacy. It is our recommendation that each applicant speak with their major advisor (and pre-professional advisor, if applicable) to discuss the manner in which a pass/fail or letter grade would impact their candidacy. In this way, an applicant can make a fully informed decision about how to move forward based upon the entirety of her/his/their application. We are confident that an applicant\u2019s knowledgeable advisors can assist her/him/them in holistically considering the impact of this decision on the applicant\u2019s medical school candidacy as a whole. **General Admission Policies and Information** Cincinnati Medicine is committed to a holistic review of applicants at every stage of the admissions process. The Admissions Committee does not use a formula as a basis for any interview or admissions decision, and all applicants receive consideration. To assess the applicant's readiness for medical school, the Committee on Admissions looks carefully at the following in making their determination: A. Academic background\u2014grades and grade trends, all MCAT scores, postbaccalaureate and/or graduate experiences, honors courses, research experiences and any independent study courses. B. Personal Growth and Development\u2014maturity, integrity, leadership skills, empathy and interpersonal skills, involvement in activities helping others, exposure to diverse circumstances and settings, critical thinking skills, communication skills, and distance traveled (i.e., where the applicant has come from to where s/he/they are now). C. Professional Development\u2014understanding of humanistic dimensions of medicine, exploration of medicine through physician shadowing, distance traveled, demonstrated experiences in health care and service-oriented settings, knowledge of medical school demands and pressures, research productivity, external vs. internal pressures to pursue a medical career. Decisions are communicated as soon as possible. Applicants are notified if they are accepted, placed on the Alternate List or denied acceptance within approximately two to four weeks. Accepted applicants are required to respond to their Cincinnati Medicine offer within two weeks.

Screening of Applicants and Granting of Interviews The College of Medicine Admissions Board has established the following process and criteria that the Office of Admissions follows in the granting of interviews: The Office of Admissions - Admissions Committee screens all eligible applicants who meet the minimum application requirements. The cognitive score shall be a combination of an applicant\u2019s most recent Medical College Admissions Test\u00ae (MCAT\u00ae) score (no older than two (2) years from the application year) and BCPM grade point average (GPA) as presented on the applicant\u2019s AMCAS\u00ae verified application. If an applicant attends an undergraduate/graduate institution that does not calculate a GPA for all coursework that AMCAS\u00ae uses to calculate the BCPM GPA, the applicant\u2019s cognitive score shall be based solely on the MCAT\u00ae score. Non-resident applicants will be granted an interview, inclusive of the above process. In addition, non-resident applicant applications are reviewed for ties to the state of Oklahoma. These ties include, but are not limited to, previous residence in Oklahoma, attendance at an Oklahoma undergraduate college, or family members living in Oklahoma. Oklahoma ties are not required in order to receive an interview. A sufficient number of interview offers are extended annually between August and January to ensure an adequate class size. The number of interview offers varies by application year. No applicant is guaranteed an interview. Interview Process and Scoring An interview score will be generated by members of the admissions interview subcommittee following completion of the applicant's interview. To be further considered for acceptance, an applicant must obtain a minimum interview score, established annually by the College of Medicine Admissions Board. All interviewed applicants will be ranked on a scale using a weighted formula (pre-determined by the Admissions Board) of the combined cognitive and interview scores.", "mission": "Our mission is to be the premier institution for advancing medical care, education and research in the state, and to be among the leaders nationally.

Admissions is sent to candidates with details about how to access the Katz online supplemental application. MCAT\u00ae The supplemental application can be submitted prior to receipt of MCAT\u00ae scores. Complete applications will be reviewed after the 2026 MCAT\u00ae scores are received. Applications are considered using the most recent MCAT\u00ae results (section scores and total scores). Coursework Applicants should demonstrate preparation for the rigors of medical school and achievement in the sciences through completion of a broad range of science coursework and the MCAT\u00ae exam. While there are no absolute course requirements, Katz recommends that students complete coursework in Biology, Chemistry (both general and organic), Biochemistry, Physics, Psychology and Sociology. In addition, students should have a broad humanities education and strong writing skills. The Office of Admissions will only evaluate courses completed at a US or Canadian university. If recommended coursework in Biology, Chemistry or Physics has been completed using AP credits, online, at a community college, or through a study abroad program, we prefer to see classroombased, upper-level science coursework in that discipline. Coursework completed online or with P/F grades due to COVID will not negatively impact the review of your application. Grading For the spring 2020 semester, many schools offered the option for Pass/Fail in lieu of a letter grade. This will not impact the review of a candidate\u2019s application. Other All applicants to the MD program are required to complete Casper, an online open-response situational judgement test (SJT). Casper is a scenario-based test that assesses non-cognitive skills and interpersonal characteristics that we believe are important for success in our program and complements the other tools that we use for applicant screening and selection. An individualized holistic review of each complete application including, but not limited to, the candidate's academic history, the college attended, MCAT\u00ae scores, Casper results, recommendations, extracurricular activities, work experience, medically-related experience, and community service activities is used to select candidates for interview. While not required, many students have participated in research activities and this information is also considered.", "mission": "Mission Align with our diverse communities to advance medicine and improve health through education, research, training, and development of the next generation of clinicians, educators, and scientists.

experiences to their admissions credentials. We recognize that students most successful in our rigorous curriculum demonstrate excellence in coursework in the areas that strengthen their academic preparation. Required academic courses (or the applicant\u2019s institution\u2019s equivalent) include: \u2022 General biology with lab (1 year/2 semesters) \u2022 General/inorganic chemistry with lab (1 year/2 semesters) \u2022 Organic chemistry with lab (1 year/2 semesters) \u2022 Physics with lab (1 year/2 semesters) \u2022 Biochemistry (1 semester) Online coursework is generally not recommended. Courses that have Pass/Fail, Credit/No Credit, Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory as their grading are generally not recommended. However, consideration of this grading is given to coursework taken during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020, 2021). It is recommended that applicants achieve a B- or higher in the required courses. MCAT The Admissions Committee will continue to require completion of the MCAT examination in order to apply to the College of Medicine. See Admissions Policies and Procedures on the Admissions website. The Penn State College of Medicine strictly adheres to the process and dates of the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School (CYMS) Tool as follows: All accepted applicants are strongly encouraged to participate in the CYMS Tool starting in February and indicate \u201cPlan to Enroll\u201d if Penn State is a consideration for medical school. After April 15 accepted applicants are required to hold no more than three acceptances. They may remain on other wait lists. After April 30 Accepted applicants are required to participate in the Choose Your Medical school tool and adhere to the stated rules. Accepted applicants can hold only one acceptance and have the option of indicating \u201cPlan to Enroll\u201d or \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d. A selection of \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d indicates a final selection and applicants are expected to withdraw acceptance(s) from all other schools. An accepted applicant who selects \u201cPlan to Enroll\u201d must maintain one acceptance to Penn State, but can remain on other wait lists. Applicants who make a decision to matriculate to another medical school are expected to notify the Admissions Office within 24 hours by email. At 21 days before matriculation, accepted applicants must select \u201cCommit to Enroll\u201d to remain in the entering class. Accepted applicants will be reminded of the deadline date by the Admissions Office. At this point accepted applicants are not allowed to accept offers from other medical schools or be considered for a waitlist position. The AMCAS traffic rules are strictly enforced. The College of Medicine reserves the right to resend an offer of acceptance if improper activity is discovered.", "mission": "Penn State College of Medicine and its academic partner, Penn State Health, are committed to enhancing the quality of life through improved health, the professional preparation of those who will serve the health needs of others and the discovery of knowledge that will benefit all.

Please note the following information and policies: 1. Online course work for prerequisites and labs are accepted and all course work must be completed at a regional accredited academic institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (undergraduate, graduate, post-baccalaureate, community college). 2. Traditional grading systems are encouraged; however, the Committee will accept Pass / Fail (Pass / No Credit, Satisfactory / Unsatisfactory) for prerequisite course work. **Students participating in our Special Programs (Guarantee Admit \u2013 GAP and the Summer Premedical Academic Enrichment Early Assurance \u2013 SPAEP EA) MUST obtain letter grades for ALL required prerequisite course work. When deciding whether to use an alternate or traditional grading system, you should select the option that is best for your application. 3. Online degrees will be accepted with an additional year of in-person instruction at a regionally accredited institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation within the United States and Canada. 4. MCAT score considered as it becomes available. Committee will only consider the highest score taken within the 3-year period prior to matriculation. 5. Letters of Recommendation reviewed as they become available. The best letters are from those who know the applicant well and can comment on the competencies considered in a holistic evaluation process.

The interactions supplement the experiences that students receive from working with standardized patients.

Part of the mission of the SOM is to provide compassionate care for all. Our students are exposed to various aspects of the Columbia and underserved community by volunteering at local shelters, by volunteering at the Free Medical Clinics, and by partnering with a variety of community service organizations that focus on the needs of the community.

The College is also dedicated to advancing biomedical research and improving healthcare in Northeast Tennessee and the broader Appalachian region. As a leading healthcare provider in East Tennessee, Quillen strives to meet community and regional health needs by identifying, creating, and implementing programs that leverage its resources. In alignment with this responsibility, the College emphasizes primary care as the core focus of its medical practice and training programs. The selection process prioritizes candidates with a demonstrated interest in rural and primary care, ensuring that the college\u2019s mission remains at the forefront. Quillen fosters its mission by engaging with schools across the state through ongoing campus visits and outreach programs. The College offers programs like the Extending Quillen to the Underserved through an Integrated Program (EQUIP) for high school and college students, as well as the Tri-Trails Program, which accelerates training for those interested in family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics. The College boasts an experienced and dedicated faculty in the biological, behavioral, and clinical sciences, complemented by practicing physicians who serve as part-time and volunteer faculty members. In addition to rigorous academic training, Quillen provides learning communities and extensive counseling services to support student well-being and development. These communities foster smaller group environments that promote health, wellness, and engagement in community service projects. Quillen students also actively participate in local health fairs and outreach activities, particularly in rural areas, further enhancing their commitment to serving underserved populations. As a result of these initiatives, over 50% of Quillen graduates pursue primary care residencies, with many choosing to practice in rural and underserved areas. The majority of Quillen graduates remain in Tennessee to practice, with many returning to the communities they were trained to serve, continuing the College\u2019s mission of improving healthcare across the region.", "contact_raw": "East Tennessee State University James H.

invitations.

During this review, all AMCAS and supplemental application materials are reviewed holistically looking for concordance with FCoM Mission, Vision, and Values. Our admissions committee will extend interview invitations on a rolling basis. Most interviews will be held on Friday afternoons. Candidates can expect email communication at each point in the admissions process to stay informed. We understand the time and dedication put into preparing for this application cycle and we are committed to clear communication. Following the interview, candidates are either offered admission, added to the waitlist, or released from the admissions process. Those offered admission are invited to a Second Look event in April. Admission offers are contingent on successful criminal background check, compliance with technical standards, documentation of a bachelor\u2019s degree, and other pre-matriculation requirements. Accepted students will be given access to a website to track their progress on these requirements in May. Any questions about the process should be directed to FCoM Admissions at Medicine@belmont.edu.", "mission": "Our Mission: The Thomas F.

Once received, our committee ensures there is a current MCAT score and then screens to decide to give a secondary application. Once the secondary and letters of evaluations are received, our Interview Review Subcommittee reviews to help determine an interview. We interview on Mondays and Fridays from September to February. After the interview, our Admissions Committee determines who will join the class. We have a December and February wave of admissions; afterwards, candidates not admitted are placed on the waitlist. Vanderbilt's goal is to utilize the waitlist to craft a class that reflects the mission of the school. In the spring, admitted candidates attend Second Look Weekend, which provides these individuals the opportunity to learn more about Nashville and Vanderbilt. Admitted students have a checklist that they can use to stay on track about immunizations, matriculation surveys, and other items. As a reminder, admissions is contingent on a successful criminal background check, compliance with our technical standards and honor code along with the State of Tennessee immunization requirements, and documentation of graduation from an accredited institution. Internationally educated candidates can find the following website helpful: https://registrar.vanderbilt.edu/academic-records/international-degrees.php . Candidates are strongly encouraged to reach out to Admissions to clarify any questions they may have. VANDERBILT SELECTION PROCESS Vanderbilt looks at strong academic performance to help assure the ability to be successful in the curriculum. Although there are no extracurricular requirements, it is recommended to have medical exposures, community engagement, leadership, and research experience before applying. In addition, candidates who are successful typically have either a unique life experience or extracurricular activities that add unique experiences to the class. No one activity to weighed more than the other. Vanderbilt loves to see a strong interest in an activity, instead of using extracurriculars as a checklist for admissions. Having a passion for medicine being evident in the application materials, along with strong letters of support are additional elements Vanderbilt evaluates in the holistic admissions process. For the MD/PhD candidates, the selection process is typically the same. Candidates are encouraged to have strong letters of support for their ability to complete an MD/PhD. The candidates usually have strong research skills. Many candidates have a transition year after graduating college where they work full time in a research lab. Quite a few candidates have been published or done presentations on their research. REAPPLICANTS Vanderbilt does not have a policy against reapplicants, but encourage candidates take time to personally evaluate their application materials. When doing that, many candidates will work on areas of improvement and then reapply later.", "mission": "The School of Medicine is led by a talented and expert team of administrators, staff and faculty who are committed to the success of its people and the advancement of safe, effective, ethical, evidence-based, and patient-centered health care.

We achieve this mission through: Admissions: Mission aligned Mission Aligned Selection and Retention Process: Our applicant screening, interview, and acceptance processes are guided by our mission. Each matriculating student demonstrates excellence in one or more of the specific tenets of our mission, whether through research, experience with rural and disadvantaged communities, or a significant commitment to the betterment of humanity. At the core of our university is a strong mission for social justice, which appears in our medical school's mission. Because we value the unique benefits of social learning, our interview day includes a team-based activity to help our candidates become familiar with this teaching approach. Student Affairs: Individualized- Timely- Compassionate A strong, interdisciplinary, and robust team of student support professionals that \"hold\" our students as soon as they commit to the first day of Orientation until the day they are hooded and earn their MD. The team includes Personal Health & Well-being, Academic Support, & Intensive Career Planning, spanning both of our campuses. Curriculum: Innovative- Learner Centered- Engaging- Relevant Our active learning approach to instruction is built on adult learning principles and proven educational pedagogy. Our students construct knowledge through a variety of teaching modalities. Larner provides rural and urban clinical opportunities on two campuses in Vermont and Connecticut, where our learners engage with diverse patient populations. Our two-campus model also allows students to select an academic (VT) or community (CT) setting for their clinical rotations. Each student is required to complete a communityfocused public health project in their first year, which positions them to learn how to be present in a community, because this is their passion. Check out our website for additional curricular opportunities! The secret to achieving our mission is our well-defined culture of professionalism. Each student who is admitted to Larner can expect to enter a community that is committed to a culture of professionalism: Our Larner College of Medicine community upholds the highest standards of professionalism as we pursue lifelong learning and improvement. We demonstrate professionalism through integrity, accountability, compassion, altruism, and social responsibility.

Our Clerkship Policy enables students to take advantage of these opportunities. Students are expected to spend 24 weeks of their required clerkships outside of a 50-mile radius from Seattle, and regional or Spokane students spend a minimum of 8 weeks within Seattle. Exceptions to this policy are granted rarely. Essential Requirements: The M.D. degree is recognized as a broad, undifferentiated degree requiring the acquisition of general knowledge and basic skills in all fields of medicine. The education of a physician requires assimilation of knowledge, acquisition of skills and development of judgment through patient care experience in preparation for independent and appropriate decisions required in practice. There are numerous components to the UWSOM Essential Requirements of Medical Education: Admission, Retention, Promotion, and Graduation Standards. See the complete technical standards at: https://www.uwmedicine.org/school-of-medicine/admissions/expectations UW Medicine Policy on Professional Conduct: UW Medicine is committed to high standards of professionalism in patient care, research and education among our faculty, staff, residents, fellows and students. Professionalism is integral to our mission of improving health, and includes demonstrating excellence, respect, integrity, compassion, altruism and accountability in all endeavors and creating an environment supportive of diversity in ideas, perspectives and experiences. Read the UW Medicine Policy on Professional Conduct at: https://www.uwmedicine.org/school-of-medicine/admissions/expectations Health Sciences Immunization Program (HSIP) Policy: Students agree to meet immunization and TB screening requirements in accordance with CDC guidelines for healthcare personnel and as outlined by the Health Sciences Immunization Program (HSIP).

more than the other and do not stipulate whom letters come from only that they not be from family/friends, are written on letterhead, signed, and dated in the current year. \u2022 We require the MCAT for a secondary because we only utilize the MCAT to meet one of our combination thresholds. We do not fill our interview spots until all completed applications (AMCAS, secondary, letters) have been considered for an interview. Applicants must meet four requirements to receive a secondary application; there are no exceptions made to these requirements. Please read our website thoroughly for these https://medicine.wsu.edu/md/apply/requirements/ To receive a secondary application, applicants must have connections to the state. Applicants who do not meet 3 of 4 ties to the state (as defined on our website) must meet one of the legal definitions of WA resident student (verified via requested documents): 1) Applicants who are financially independent and have maintained a bona fide domicile in the state of Washington primarily for purposes other than educational for at least one year by and immediately leading into January 1 of the enrollment year. 2) Applicants who are financially dependent with at least one parent or legal guardian who has maintained a bona fide domicile in the state of Washington for at least one year by and immediately leading into January 1 of the enrollment year. 3) Applicants who are on active military duty stationed in the state of Washington or are members of the Washington national guard. 4) Applicants who (i) are members of a federally recognized tribe whose traditional and customary tribal boundaries include portions of the state of Washington, or whose tribe was granted reserved lands within the state of Washington, and (ii) have maintained a bona fide domicile in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, or Washington or a combination of these states, for one year by and immediately leading into January 1 of the enrollment year. Applicants who claim WA residency and do not meet the ties to the state will be required to submit documentation proving one of the definitions above. We also established three threshold combinations of GPA and MCAT; we utilize the AMCAS calculated GPA. There are no exceptions to these thresholds (graduate GPA may be considered if these thresholds are not met with the UGPA). Review our website for more info: https://medicine.wsu.edu/md/apply/requirements/ - If undergraduate cumulative GPA is 3.8 \u2013 4.0, then 27th percentile rank or higher on the MCAT - If undergraduate cumulative GPA is 3.4 \u2013 3.79, then 43rd percentile rank or higher on the MCAT - If undergraduate cumulative GPA is 2.6 \u2013 3.39, then 61st percentile rank or higher on the MCAT Once all secondary requirements have been met, an applicant will be sent the secondary application. Upon return of the secondary, we mask MCAT and GPA from further review through the remainder of our process. From that point forward, we only consider experiences and attributes as they relate to our mission in deciding who we interview and accept. Per state and federal law, we also mask race/ethnicity in our process.", "mission": "To serve Washington and beyond through collaboration and problem-solving in education, research, and health care with a focus on rural communities, Tribal Nations, and people who have been historically marginalized. Our Mission in Action: We seek to enroll candidates who most align with our mission and have similar goals to serve all WA communities, especially rural, Tribal nations, and those who have been historically marginalized. Below are some examples of how we enact our mission. Admissions: \u2022 Holistic Review: Our admissions process truly balances an applicant\u2019s experiences and attributes with their metrics in alignment with our mission. Once a threshold combination of GPA and MCAT have been met for a secondary, we blind these metrics \u2013 no one ever sees MCAT and GPAs! . \u2022 Focus on WA: We consider only those who have ties to/residency in WA. We ultimately hope our graduates will choose to practice in and care for WA communities. \u2022 Experiences with rural and/or underserved communities: one of the key experiences we are looking for are those who come from or have experience with these communities. Student Affairs: \u2022 Financial education: Between 40-50% of our student body comes from low socioeconomically backgrounds. It is important that we have resources to support them. On our Student Affairs team, we have a Director for Financial Education who meets with students each year to build a plan for debt management. This provides our students with the insights to select a career specialty choice based on their passion rather than their debt. \u2022 Our student interest groups include those focused on the broad diversity including Student National Medical Student Association, Latino Medical Student Association, Women in Medicine, Military medicine, Non-Traditional Students, and LGBTQI+ Interest Group. \u2022 We partner with the WSU Spokane Office of Native American Health Sciences who helps support our American Indian and Alaska Native students. They also have a Center for Native American Health: https://nativehealth.wsu.edu/center-for-native-american-health/ Curriculum, Assessment, and Learning Support: \u2022 Rural/Urban Underserved Rotation: In Year 4, all students are required to complete a rural underserved or urban underserved 4-week rotation as a graduation requirement. \u2022 Community-based medical school within a Land Grant institution: As a community-based medical school, we train our students across Washington and within diverse communities including rural, underserved, tribal clinics, and urban clinic/hospitals. This provides our students with broad exposure to diverse populations in WA to help inform them of the challenging health care problems that exist. https://medicine.wsu.edu/community/ \u2022 Coaching: Every student will be assigned a faculty academic coach who will be with them all four years. This serves to further support our students toward self-learning and improvement. We also provide students with a USMLE Step 1 Coach. More info about our Student Learning Center: https://medicine.wsu.edu/about/departments-units/studentlearning-center/ Graduates: \u2022 Our alumni have begun practicing in Washington and serving the communities we hoped they'd serve.

Medical Exposure/Experiences/Public Service \u2013 We strongly recommend in-person experiences in these areas. You may find it helpful to consult your pre-health advising center if you are still in college or as an alumnus. Additionally, you may want to research opportunities in your local community. Local volunteer organizations may have suggestions for acceptable opportunities as well. Accepted applicants may select \"Plan to Enroll\" beginning February 19. Applicants with multiple acceptances should narrow their choices to three schools by April 15.

Community colleges also serve as a valuable resource for high school students seeking to earn academic or dual credit before graduation. This approach not only expedites their undergraduate education but also positions them to potentially enter medical school earlier, courtesy of college credits accrued during high school. Furthermore, community colleges offer a financially prudent alternative for post-high school students. Many individuals face financial constraints that hinder them from enrolling in a four-year institution away from home. By enrolling in community college courses for a year or two, students can significantly reduce tuition and fees, while living at home allows for additional savings to support their remaining college education. Lastly, community college courses often accommodate non-traditional applicants, such as those who are employed or juggling other responsibilities. The availability of late afternoon and evening classes means that potential applicants can complete the required in person prerequisites for medical school without having to resign from their jobs, thereby broadening access to medical education for a more diverse range of applicants."}, "daca": {"accepts": "no", "details": null}, "secondary": {"required": "yes", "fee_text": "$75", "fee_usd": 75, "sent_to": "After review all applicants that meet minimum requirements will be sent a secondary application", "fee_waiver": "yes", "deadline_text": "December 15 2026", "deadline": "2026-12-15"}, "letters": {"committee": "Accepted", "packets": "Accepted", "individual": "Accepted"}, "waitlist": {"positions_text": "approximately 200", "offers_text": "40", "procedures": "Open positions are filled by the next most qualified applicant as selected by the Executive Committee (a sub-committee of the Admissions Committee) to fill any open position."}, "deposit": {"in_state": null, "out_of_state": null, "required": "No", "refundable_by": null, "due": null, "refundable": null, "applied_to_tuition": null}, "tuition": {"in_state": {"total_coa": 62212, "tuition_fees": 27662, "health_insurance": 0}, "out_of_state": {"total_coa": 96796, "tuition_fees": 62246, "health_insurance": 0}}, "debt": {"pct_receiving_aid": 89.0, "avg_graduate_indebtedness": 186271}, "mcat_dates": {"latest": "September 15, 2026", "oldest": "July 2024"}, "transfer": {"accepts": "case-by-case", "contact": "Contact Name: Valerie Moore Phone Number: 3046911743 Email Address: valerie.moore@marshall.edu Website: http://jcesom.marshall.edu/media/53892/transfer-student-policy.pdf"}, "preview": {"policy_text": "We are recommending applicants submit PREview scores", "status": "recommended"}, "short_name": "Marshall", "control": "public", "admissions_url": "https://jcesom.marshall.edu/admissions/", "class_profile_url": "https://jcesom.marshall.edu/admissions/admissions-criteria/", "stats": {"mcat": 512, "mcat_kind": "mean", "gpa": 3.84, "gpa_kind": "mean", "science_gpa": 3.8, "mcat_10th": null, "mcat_90th": null, "mcat_range_low": null, "mcat_range_high": null, "gpa_10th": null, "gpa_90th": null, "applicants": null, "interviewed": null, "accepted": null, "matriculants": 99, "pct_in_state": null, "pct_women": 38.4, "pct_first_generation": null, "year": 2026, "source_url": "https://jcesom.marshall.edu/admissions/admissions-criteria/"}, "in_state_preference": "As a state-assisted school, Marshall gives preference to West Virginia residents; qualified applicants may apply regardless of state of residence.", "casper_school": {"status": "not_stated", "source_url": "https://jcesom.marshall.edu/admissions/admissions-criteria/"}, "preview_school": {"status": "not_stated", "source_url": "https://jcesom.marshall.edu/admissions/admissions-criteria/"}, "interview_stated": "Live virtual interview of about 40 minutes with two interviewers who alternate questions", "notes": "Admissions criteria table, 2026 entering class: overall GPA 3.84, science GPA 3.80, average MCAT 512, average age 23 (range 21-37), 61 males / 38 females; class size is not stated (99 and pct_women derived from the gender counts). 2025: GPA 3.81 / 3.75, MCAT 506, 82 students; 2024: GPA 3.8 / 3.74, MCAT 504, 82 students.

To apply to NOSM University's UME Program, applicants must register and create an account with OMSAS. The OMSAS application opens in mid-July. The application deadline is the first week of October for admission the following September. All applications to NOSM University's UME Program are initially screened and scored based on two (2) components: 1. Grade Point Average (GPA) 2. Context Score The scoring weight of each component is 1/2. The combination of the scores from these components will determine if you are offered an interview. Approximately 300 top-ranked applicants are invited to participate in the admissions interviews. The final selection of applicants receiving an offer of admission is based on a combination of the pre-interview (32%) and the interview (68%) scores and a complete file review by the Admissions Selection Committee. It is at this point in the selection process that Confidential Assessment Forms (CAF) are reviewed. Prerequisite Requirements NOSM University does not require the completion of specific preparatory course work. While there are no course prerequisites, NOSM University values applicants who present evidence of a broad undergraduate education. It is recommended that applicants with majors in science complete at least two (2) full course equivalents* in arts, social sciences and/or humanities, and that applicants pursuing majors in arts, social sciences and/or humanities complete at least two (2) full course equivalents* in science. *Two(2) full course equivalents refer to two (2) full-year course credits, four (4) semester courses, or a combination of one (1) full course credit and two (2) semester courses. The designation of a course as \u201cArts, Social Sciences, Humanities, or Science\u201d is determined by the institution you are attending or attended.
