In selecting students, the Admissions Committee of the School of Medicine looks for applicants who are best suited to fulfill the mission of the School and to successfully practice medicine. It is important that students in the School of Medicine demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and show evidence of sensitivity to the needs of humanity. The Admissions Committee of the School of Medicine puts forth considerable effort to ensure that an applicant is qualified for medical school. The applicant's credentials are reviewed to assess scholastic performance. The committee also looks for prerequisite qualities of character and personality, potential for self-direction and the use of discriminating judgment, and for dedication to the ideal of service to society.
Preference is given, however, to college graduates.
Scores older than three years will not be considered. Applications must be processed through this service. An additional fee to the School of Medicine is required with each application. The prospective student should provide evidence of exposure to health care through personal involvement, or in other ways confirming the applicant's decision to become a physician. After the supplementary application and letters of reference have been submitted and reviewed, the applicant may be invited for an interview.
