| Admissions policies and procedures
|
There are no automatic GPA or MCAT
cutoffs, although a composite MCAT of 21 or better
is considered most competitive, as is a BCPM
(biology/chemistry/ physics/math) GPA of 2.8 or
better. Leadership experience, research experience,
and a demonstrated commitment to serve in medically
underserved communities are also considered |
