If this is not possible, graduate students must withdraw from their graduate program or obtain a release from their department chair before their application for admissions to the Stritch School of Medicine can be considered. Applicants who have been out of school for several years are encouraged to return to full-time study before applying for admission. Their recent academic performance, combined with their undergraduate record, will help the Committee on Admissions make its decision. The MMEP was developed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and is supported by the foundation in conjunction with the Association of American Medical Colleges. The Chicago Summer Science Enrichment Program uses the resources of Loyola and three other Chicago-area medical schools to provide educational experiences uniquely directed toward the needs and preparatory background of participants who are enrolled in all years of undergraduate college.
Applications are available in the fall annually.
When I applied to Stritch, I might not have had the highest MCAT scores or the most amazing grades. What I did have is great experience, as a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras. Some other schools only cared about my numbers, but Stritch cared even more about the kind of person I am. That kind of commitment to people is reflected in our student body - they're the kind of people you'd want to be you doctor.
