Start Your Journey to An MD Degree

A personal statement, no longer than 750 words. AMCAS personal statements are accepted.

A minimum of one letter from an individual academic professor who taught you (science preferred, but not required), and one professional letter.

• A pre-medical advisory committee letter (if applicable) meets the admissions requirement in lieu of the one academic and one professional letters.
• Two academic letters can be submitted if a professional letter cannot be obtained.
• Two professional letters can be submitted on a case-by-case basis for consideration with an exception request if an academic letter cannot be obtained.

A chronological history of your educational, employment, and volunteer experience dating back to high school.

• This requirement can be met with a CV or resume.

Official transcripts from all schools attended. For foreign schools, notarized copies of the original transcripts may be directed to AUC when official transcripts are not readily available. However, official transcripts must follow the notarized copies prior to matriculation. Please note that all foreign transcripts must be evaluated by a credentialing service that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). A listing of credentialing members can be found at www.naces.org.

• 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.
