The fourth year consists of a clerkship in Neurology, two months of primary care and five electives. Students are graded on a numerical system and must maintain a weighted numerical average of at least a 75 for promotion and graduation. All prerequisite courses must be taken in a U.S. or Canadian school. A baccalaureate degree is highly desirable. Only applicants with superior credentials will be considered without a degree and must exhibit definite evidence of maturity.
Some preference is given to applications from West Texas.
Prerequisites Specific course requirements have been kept at a minimum to permit maximum flexibility in the selection of well-rounded students. The MCAT is also a requirement for admission. It is recommended that students take the MCAT in the spring of the year in which application will be made. Selection Factors Applications are invited from qualified residents of Texas and neighboring counties of New Mexico and Oklahoma which comprise the service area of the school. The Admissions Committee carefully reviews the applications of all individuals meeting the entrance requirements.
