Community-college pathways

Upward transfer: YesAccelerated: NoSupplemental: Yes

Strong preference is given to applicants who will have completed all requirements for a baccalaureate degree prior to entering medical school. For those applicants applying with the minimum 90 acceptable semester hours, a maximum of 65 semester hours of credit from an accredited community college may be applied toward the minimum 90 acceptable semester hours required for admission. College graduates may complete additional post-baccalaureate coursework to satisfy prerequisites at any accredited U.S. college or university, regardless of the number of community college credit hours applied toward their completed undergraduate degree.

Admission policies, in the school's words

The SOM employs a balanced admissions review that affords each applicant balanced consideration of life experiences, personal attributes, and academic metrics to select not only those who can succeed but those who should be admitted based on the school mission. For further details, see Applicant Evaluation and Decisions on the School of Medicine Admissions website. The School of Medicine offers pre-application counseling for prospective applicants and postapplication counseling for unsuccessful applicants. To make an appointment, call the admissions office at 601-984-5010. The Admissions Office encourages all students who are interested in applying to our SOM to arrange for pre-counseling early in their undergraduate career.
