We seek to determine if each applicant has the intellectual capability to handle a challenging medical school curriculum. We are specifically interested in the pattern of the candidate’s academic development and look for identifiable performance trends.
UMHS requires all U.S. citizens and permanent residents to submit Medical College Aptitude Test (MCAT*) scores as part of the application. While the MCAT is not required of non-U.S. citizens, it is recommended for all applicants, including Canadian citizens or residents.
Transfer applicants who have not taken the USMLE Step 1 are also required to submit MCAT scores so that we may assess the student’s academic background relative to placement in our program.
*The MCAT must be taken within 3 years of the student's application
Personal motivation is one of the most important qualities for a future doctor. We seek students who have demonstrated the ability to adapt, study hard, integrate various modes of instruction, and retain useful knowledge required for promotion. To assess motivation, we focus on an applicant’s personal essay, letters of recommendation, and personal interview.
