Beyond this, letters from the undergraduate school are required for permission to repeat the exam. MCAT applications are usually available about February 1st of each year for the April and August test dates. If the closest the applicant has been to Indiana was in a plane flying over the state, their application will not get anywhere with the Admissions Committee unless they have the listed minimum scores. If, however, the family has had to move from Indiana due to job considerations, etc., that applicant will be looked at more closely. If the applicant has the necessary GPA and MCAT scores, the applicant may then be interviewed.
Final decision rests with the admissions personnel.
In-state applicants get every consideration from the School of Medicine, as the school does get considerable state support. In-state applicants with a GPA of 3.2 and a MCAT score of 20 will be granted an interview. Applicants are urged to take advantage of this interview as, every once in a while, someone with this type background will be accepted into the program, although this is not the norm. Some students may wish to try the Early Decision Program at the Indiana University School of Medicine. If accepted, they will be notified early in the Fall of their senior year.
