Central Michigan University College of Medicine

CMU College of Medicine provides a rigorous admissions process that aligns with its mission to train culturally competent physicians dedicated to serving underserved populations in Michigan and beyond. To be considered for admission, applicants must be U.S. or Canadian citizens or permanent residents, and they must submit an AMCAS application along with their MCAT scores.

The college expects applicants to have completed an undergraduate degree with strong academic performance. Required coursework includes two semesters each of biological sciences and organic chemistry, both with lab components. The school also recommends additional coursework in biochemistry, genetics, human anatomy, and human physiology to strengthen an applicant’s preparation for medical school.

In terms of personal qualities and experiences, Central Michigan values candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to community service and leadership, alongside exposure to clinical environments. Applicants need to provide three to five letters of recommendation, preferably from those who can attest to their academic and professional capabilities within a medical context.

The admissions process includes a secondary application for select applicants, followed by interviews. Offers of admission are made on a rolling basis, with several important dates highlighted throughout the cycle, such as application deadlines and the start of classes.
