MCAT

We accept scores from either the old or new MCAT test; however, applicants should keep in mind that very few medical schools will accept MCAT scores that are more than three years old. Although we will consider older MCAT scores, the age of the scores may influence the perceived strength of the overall application.

Letters of Recommendation

A minimum of three letters of recommendation (individual letters or committee letters) are required.

If you are submitting individual letters, please enter reference contact details in your online application. Once entered, recommenders will receive an invitation to upload their letter directly.

Alternatively, letters of recommendation can be submitted via a letter service (e.g. Interfolio). Please select externally submitted documents in the application (do not select individual recommender) if you are submitting a letter packet via a dossier service. Letters can be sent to the UC Graduate College via email: grad.admissions@uc.edu
