Consideration for the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Candidates are selected on the basis of the following considerations:
- Undergraduate record.
- Medical College Admissions Test Scores.
- Multiple Mini-interview with members of the Admissions Committee.
- Letters of Recommendation.
- Graduate Record, where applicable.
- Life Experiences. (Research, volunteerism, etc.)
The Admissions Committee makes an effort to seek out qualified applicants, and when supplemental information is requested a processing fee of $95.00 will be required. Fee waivers, based solely on economic need, are granted only to applicants who have qualified for an AMCAS Fee Waiver.
Pre-Medical Education: College years should be devoted to obtaining as broad an education as possible. The major objectives should be the following:
- Competence in English, written and spoken
- Capacity for quantitative thinking, represented by mastery of mathematics, science and scientific method
- A foundation for an ever-increasing insight in human behavior, thought and aspiration, through the study of society, as revealed by the social sciences and the humanities.
