Admissions Requirements

Our MD program is open to qualified candidates with a first degree, minimum Bachelor’s or equivalent, in any discipline (science-focused study preferable but not mandatory), from an accredited university.

Qualifying for Medical School

AUC's Admissions Committee considers many factors when reviewing an applicant for consideration. Qualifying for medical school includes undergraduate performance and MCAT score, as well as intellectual and social maturity, critical judgment, adaptability, volunteer work, and life experiences, and graduate school performance (if applicable).

Evaluation for admission is conducted on an individual basis. We encourage all applicants to speak with a member of our admissions team to discuss their opportunity to attend AUC, including the competitiveness of their MCAT scores, GPA and other medical school requirements.

Bachelor's Degree

All applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university.

Medical Admissions Test

  • AUC requires scores for the Medical College Admission Test® (MCAT®) to be submitted by all U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and U.S. permanent residents prior to the interview.
  • Non-U.S. applicants are not required to submit MCAT scores and are encouraged to sit for the medical admissions exam available in their country of study. Waiver of a medical admissions exam is managed on an individual basis and at the sole discretion of the AUC Admissions Committee.

Please note that AUC will not consider MCAT, UCAT, and NEET scores that are more than five years old. For the GAMSAT, only scores that are less than two years old will be considered.

Undergraduate Performance

AUC looks at both overall GPA and science GPA.

English Requirement

Required for non-native English speakers, or applicants who graduated from institutions in which the education is not delivered in English, or as requested by the Admissions Committee if deemed necessary to assess success at AUC. One of two exams may be taken: 

  • International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
  • Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
