All correspondence and records regarding admissions are handled and filed in the Division of Student Services and Records and become the property of the school. Selection of applicants is competitive. The first evaluation of applicants is made on the basis of scholastic records and scores on the New Medical College Admission Test. Those applicants for whom this evaluation indicates the scholastic competency necessary to pursue successfully the course of study required of students in the school are further evaluated on the basis of character, motivation, and promise of fitness for the practice of medicine. Selection is made on the basis of all these evaluations.
Strong preference is given to applicants who are Mississippi residents.
No applicant is accepted until interviewed by members of the Admissions Committee or by their designees. Back to Chapter 1998 Course Catalog Information contained on these pages should be considered out of date.
