More About the Medical School
California Northstate University College of Medicine (CNUCOM) has a comprehensive admissions process designed to select candidates who not only meet academic standards but also demonstrate personal qualities suited for a career in medicine. The college employs a rolling admissions process, which means applications are considered as they are received, and offers of admission are extended throughout the admissions cycle. This process continues until all seats are filled, typically concluding around the end of the cycle.
Applicants are required to apply through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) and must submit all necessary documentation, including MCAT scores, official transcripts, and letters of recommendation, by specified deadlines. CNUCOM recommends that applicants have a minimum GPA of 2.80 and an MCAT score of 497 to apply; however, more competitive candidates generally possess a GPA of 3.50 and an MCAT score of 511.
Additional application steps include submitting a secondary application and participating in interviews, which are currently conducted virtually. Successful applicants will also need to fulfill prerequisite coursework within nine years of matriculation, undergo a background check, and meet technical standards specified by the college.
