What are my chances of being accepted as a Wyoming WWAMI student?
At present we have rates of acceptance that are considerably higher than those of U.S. medical schools in general. This is due in part to our close and ongoing relationships with the applicants. University of Washington School of Medicine applicants who were offered positions for the fall of 2007 had a mean GPA of 3.69 and the following mean MCAT scores: Verbal 10.5, Physical Sciences 10.7, Biological Sciences 11.1, and a mode of “Q” in the Writing Sample. It is important to remember that these average scores rather than cut offs. The admission decision is based on the entire application – the interview being a very important part of the application process. All entrants in recent years have fulfilled requirements for a bachelor’s degree. No specific major is advised. A broad background in the humanities and liberal arts is encouraged. Some of the above data regarding UWSOM application information is taken from the University of Washington School of Medicine Web site.
