ADMISSIONS

At the UAG School of Medicine, we do not simply consider a student’s MCAT and GPA to determine admission into our program. Instead, we employ a holistic approach to reviewing every application because we believe that every student possesses a unique skill set, emotional maturity, a capacity and passion for learning medicine, and a commitment to helping us create a healthier world.

From beginning to end, our rigorous curriculum is designed to prepare students to pass their USMLE Board Exams, and all class instruction is delivered fully in English.
