Although MCAT scores are useful to us in evaluating applicants, other factors including, but not limited to, performance in prerequisite courses, the grades in upper level science course, and the difficulty of curriculum can provide signifiant insight into how an applicant is likely to perform in medical school courses in the SMP. Thus, we will be carefully considering applicants without test scores for the remainder of the current admissions cycle. We will be informing your students who have sta...
