The University of Iowa is a testing center and offers the MCAT each spring and summer. Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Waiting until the November 1 deadline may jeopardize your chances of admission. Fulfillment of the basic requirements does not guarantee admission. The College of Medicine Admissions Committee selects the applicants it considers best qualified for the study and practice of medicine from applicants who meet the basic requirements.
Preference is given to applicants with high scholastic standing who are residents of Iowa.
Consideration is also given to outstanding nonresidents. Residency is determined by the University's Registrar in accordance with rules adopted by the Iowa Board of Regents. If it is approved, you will be asked to submit a College of Medicine application for admission, three evaluation forms, and a supplemental statement. If you are not chosen to receive a supplemental application, you will receive notice of this decision by mail. All of the supplemental application materials must be on file with the College of Medicine by December 15 .
