How are GPA and MCAT scores considered?
The GPA and MCAT scores are components of the complete application. Our admissions committee considers the complete academic history within the holistic assessment of the applicant.
Can I submit my application without the MCAT score?
Yes, but we strongly encourage taking the MCAT by May of your application year so that your application is completed and in the applicant pool for the start of the interview season.
Can I still apply if I have not completed my prerequisites?
Yes, you can submit your application for consideration if you have prerequisite courses in progress or are planning to take the required course(s). However, you will need to demonstrate that you completed all required courses by July 15 of the entering year.
Can I delay or defer admission if offered an acceptance?
Admissions team will evaluate delay or deferral requests on a case by case basis.
