Consider your competitiveness
We expect to receive more than 13,000 applications for our entering class of only 138 students—that means your application must be as competitive as possible. We review applicants based upon their entire application, which includes all academic achievements, letters of recommendation, community involvement, leadership, exposure to patients in a clinical setting and extracurricular activities. However, a solid foundation in the sciences and a strong GPA and MCAT are important in order to be a competitive applicant.
