Important Details

MCAT

Upload a copy of your MCAT score report to your application. This document must show your name, date of birth, AAMC ID#, and your 16-digit verification code.  Be sure to also enter your AAMC ID# and your 16-digit MCAT verification code within your SMP application.  

Old MCAT exam scores are accepted; however, applicants should keep in mind that very few medical schools will accept MCAT scores that are more than three years old. Although we will consider older MCAT scores, the age of the scores may influence the perceived strength of the overall application.

DAT

Official scores must be sent from the ADA to Program Coordinator, Ms. Tracy Yarchi.

Letters of Recommendation

A minimum of three letters of recommendation (individual letters or committee letters) are required.

If you are submitting individual letters, please enter reference contact details in your online application. Once entered, recommenders will receive an invitation to upload their letter directly.

Alternatively, letters of recommendation can be submitted via a letter service (e.g. Interfolio). Please select externally submitted documents in the application (do not select individual recommender) if you are submitting a letter packet via a dossier service. Letters can be sent to the UC Graduate College via email: grad.admissions@uc.edu

Video (Optional)

The video element of the SMP application is optional and is simply an opportunity to answer a variety of questions related to your application.
