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 (*AUC is waiving the MCAT requirement for qualified candidates impacted by the pandemic who apply for the May 2022 semester start), 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.
