As a private medical school in Texas, we only accept applications via AMCAS.

If multiple scores are presented, the highest score will be used. Applicants with more than four exams are not considered for supplemental applications.

Applicants for the class of 2030 must have taken the MCAT in 2023, 2024 or 2025.
