Prospective Student-Student Selection
Selection of Students
Selection of students is based on satisfactory completion of all the admission requirements.
Should the number of qualified applicants exceed the number of openings, a point system will be used to evaluate all applicants
NOTE: The point system has been used for several application periods. Points required for acceptance have ranged between 77 and 82 points during the past 2 years. This requires a minimum grade point average of “B” or above in the science pre-requisite courses. The grade point average (GPA) in science courses was 3.3 and above.
Point System:
For the Basic (Generic Program)
- Minimum overall G.P.A. of 3.0 (B) in the prerequisite courses of Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology.
- For applicants meeting the above criteria, the following point system is utilized to determine who will be admitted.
