| Admissions policies and procedures |
COMP accepts applications from qualified
candidates. While grades and MCAT scores are important and
suggest future academic success, COMP recognizes that these
do not guarantee success as a physician. Non-academic
criteria are also important. COMP seeks a diverse and
balanced student population. An on-campus interview is
required. |
