Why Ross?

When most medical schools are evaluating applicants, their first question is usually: “Will this applicant make it through?”

At Ross, we ask a different question. We ask, “What kind of physician will this person make?”

Because US medical schools receive far more applications from qualified candidates than they can possibly accept, they are forced to establish cutoffs based on MCAT scores and GPAs.

Requirements for Medical School

At Ross, our approach is to look at applicants holistically. Yes, we consider your MCAT score and final GPA. But our medical school admissions requirements take into account your overall academic performance. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a student? As a person? How passionate are you about becoming a doctor? How have you put that passion into practice? What kinds of experiences have you had that will make you a better doctor?

What's Your Passion?

To thrive as a profession, medicine needs many different kinds of people. There are some 50 specialties and subspecialties. Many doctors go into private practice.  Many teach, do research, run screening programs, establish companies, write computer programs, edit journals and more.

In short, there is plenty of room for people who are passionate about medicine. At Ross, we’re committed to finding those students who have that passion. If that’s you, we want to know more about you.
