Admissions Policies
The Committee on Admissions considers the total qualifications of each
applicant without regard to sex, race, color, creed, national origin,
religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status or disability. Decisions
regarding admission are based on multiple factors including prior academic
performance; completion of the courses required for admission; the potential
for academic success including performance on standardized tests such
as the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT); communication skills, character,
personal skills, health related experiences and motivation for a career
in medicine. New York State residents are given admissions preference,
although well-qualified out of state applicants are also accepted. We
welcome and encourage applications from women and members of groups underrepresented
in medicine.
