The School has established a list of prerequisites for admission (see &＃8220;Required prerequisite course work&＃8220;, below).  Courses used to meet prerequisites must be taken through an accredited university or college (see &＃8220;Hours of undergraduate study&＃8220;, below) and appear on an official transcript. The Committee on Admissions will consider the rigor of the applicant’s curriculum, their performance in each class, and grading practices at each respective institution. We do accept courses that have been taken pass/fail or pass/no pass. We also accept courses taken at a community college, through a summer school or online, as long as the institution meets our accreditation requirements. Prerequisites may be met in this manner. However, the majority of classes, especially science classes, should optimally be taken for a letter grade at an individual’s primary undergraduate institution. Courses are expected to be completed by the June preceding one&＃8217;s matriculation to medical school (e.g., by June 2025 for the Entering Class of 2025). The Committee on Admissions recognizes that the global pandemic created a unique situation where an applicant may have taken one or more courses on a pass/fail or pass/no pass basis. These courses will be accepted and considered as usual in the context of the rest of the applicant’s portfolio. We recognize the need to be flexible in our evaluation of candidates.   Standards for admission are high. Applicants are expected to possess high character, aptitude, integrity and motivation suitable for a career in medicine. Other personal attributes considered include strong communication skills, extracurricular accomplishments and a balanced lifestyle, including hobbies and recreational interests. A major goal of undergraduate college work should be the development of the intellectual talents of the individual. This often involves the in-depth pursuit of some area of knowledge, whether in the humanities, the social sciences or the natural sciences. At the same time, a diversity of background is encouraged in order to provide a necessary foundation for the development of cultural awareness, sensitivity and competence. A great variety of courses and life experiences may prepare students for the many roles they may play in their medical careers; specific course prerequisites may be found below. Academic Requirements Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is required. The MCAT must be completed before an application is considered and we accept MCAT results that are up to three years old at the time of application. In the 2024-2025 application cycle, the Committee on Admissions will accept scores from January 2021 through September 2024 test dates. The WashU Medicine Committee on Admissions acknowledges that delivery of test scores may be delayed for some applicants and we strive to be flexible in the 2024-2025 application cycle. We believe our November 15, 2024 deadline for MCAT scores, the secondary application and related materials allows adequate time for all applicants. Hours of undergraduate study At least 90 semester hours must be completed in an approved college or university prior to matriculation.  WUSM will only accept credits earned at (or appearing on a transcript from) an institution accredited by one of the seven regional Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) bodies in the United States, institutions recognized by Universities Canada, or an American College Overseas as defined in the AMCAS Applicant Guide. Required prerequisite course work A minimum of one year (two semesters) or equivalent advanced placement in: Biological science General or inorganic chemistry Organic chemistry * Physics Calculus** Laboratories in the sciences are recommended but are not required.Possible course substitutions:*One semester of biochemistry may be substituted for one semester of organic chemistry. A course in biochemistry, though not required, is encouraged.**Statistics or Biostatistics may be substituted for one semester of calculus.In selected instances, one or more of these prerequisites may be waived by the Committee on Admissions.Courses are expected to be completed by the June preceding one&＃8217;s matriculation to medical school (e.g., by June 2025 for the Entering Class of 2025). Majors and areas of study No single major is preferred. Although many applicants will have majored in science, engineering or math, applications from those who have majored in the humanities, social sciences or the arts are equally welcome. Letters of Recommendation or Evaluation In general, we require three letters of recommendation, which may be submitted individually or collected for submission by a prior or current educational institution (&＃8220;letter packet&＃8221;). Typically, letters should come from three instructors at a college or university who know the applicant well enough to write on their behalf, at least one of whom has taught them in the sciences. Letters may also come from research mentors, extracurricular or postgraduate mentors or supervisors. If you are pursuing or have an advanced degree or at least one year of postgraduate full-time employment, it is advisable to ask a member of your graduate faculty or your work supervisor to send a letter of evaluation.Applicants are permitted to submit a letter prepared by a premedical advisor or committee, either in addition to individual letters, or as a substitute for them if this is the typical practice at their school. Letters must be received by November 15, 2024. Letters should be on letterhead, dated and signed.Letters should provide an in-depth evaluation of the applicant&＃8217;s accomplishments, skills, talents and character, rather than mere recapitulations of academic achievements or course grade(s). Washington University supports the movement for letters to cover AAMC&＃8217;s Core Competencies for Entering Medical Students, and encourages applicants to solicit letters from individuals who can address these competencies. Relatedly, the AAMC produces an excellent resource titled Guidelines for Writing a Letter of Evaluation for a Medical School Applicant. Letters may be submitted by email (via [email protected]), by secure Web server (such as InterFolio or VirtualEvals), by AMCAS Letter Service or by mail. If submitted by mail, they should be directed to:Committee on AdmissionsWashington University School of MedicineMSC 8107-01-01660 South Euclid AvenueSt. Louis, MO 63110-1093 Medical School Admission Requirements (MSAR) See Washington University School of Medicine&＃8217;s profile in the AAMC&＃8217;s Medical School Admission Requirements publication.

Note that all accepted applicants, including international applicants and DACA applicants, are considered for merit scholarships.
