As a private medical school in Texas, we only accept applications via AMCAS.
Applicants who indicate retaking the MCAT exam as posted on the AMCAS will be reviewed once the new score is received, regardless of any prior scored exam. If multiple scores are presented, the most recent will be used. Applicants with more than four exams are not consider for supplemental applications.
Applicants for the entering class of 2024 must have taken the MCAT in 2021, 2022 or 2023.
The minimum threshold established by the Admissions Committee is an MCAT score of 502 (no more than four attempts) and an overall grade point average of 3.2 and a cumulative science GPA of 3.0.
An applicant must have completed at least 90 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours), including at least 30 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of upper division coursework, by the time of matriculation. All coursework must be completed at a fully-accredited college or university in the United States or Canada by the time of matriculation. A bachelor’s degree is not required.
