How selection works

Accepts out-of-state applicants but strong in-state preference: preference to legal Missouri residents or graduates of Missouri high schools; around 85% of accepted students are Missouri residents (88% of Class of 2030 from Missouri). OOS applicants must meet MCAT/GPA combinations (MCAT 500-501 with GPA >=3.60; 502-505 >=3.40; 506-509 >=3.20; 510-528 >=3.00), then submit a no-cost Out-Of-State form assessing Missouri ties before a secondary is offered. Early Decision and MD-PhD are Missouri residents only.
