The average composite MCAT score and GPA of those accepted to UAMS for the Fall 2018 class is 509 (80th percentile) and 3.77, respectively. Remember, however, that these are averages. A number of applicants are admitted with numbers less than these averages. Typically, MCAT scores of 500 and above and GPAs of 3.5 and above are competitive. MCAT scores below 500 are less competitive, and scores of 494 or less will fail to meet the competitive standard for admission at UAMS! Submit the AMCAS/TMDSAS/AACOMAS application. If you are applying to allopathic medical schools (MD degree), complete and submit the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) application. Go to aamc.org and click on the AMCAS link. You can apply to as many medical schools as you like (and can afford) through AMCAS, but if you are an Arkansas resident, your chances of acceptance are best at UAMS, which is an excellent medical school. If you are applying to Texas medical schools (except Baylor, which uses AMCAS), you will apply through the Texas Medical and Dental School Application Service (TMDSAS). If you are applying to osteopathic medical schools (DO degree), you will most likely use the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service (AACOMAS). Make sure that you are familiar with and meet all deadlines for submission of applications!! Please note: You can submit your applications before you take the MCAT. After you have submitted your AMCAS application, contact UAMS in Little Rock ( HYPERLINK "http://www.uams.edu" www.uams.edu) to schedule an interview date with them. UAMS interviews all Arkansas residents. Non-residents are interviewed by invitation only. Attend the MANDATORY application process informational meeting in late August (likely August 28th at x-period) and arrange to get an official BTcommittee recommendation from the BTPremedical Advisory Committee. Almost all medical schools require submission of an official committee letter. To obtain a committee letter, you must schedule an interview with the BTPremedical Advisory Committee. First-time applicants or applicants who have not interviewed with the committee must interview in order to receive a committee recommendation. If you are reapplying or have interviewed with us in the past, you are not required to interview again, but you may do so if you wish. Tentatively, interviews will be conducted the week of September 10th in the evenings (5:30-8:30). THE DEADLINE TO SCHEDULE COMMITTEE INTERVIEWS IS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH!! If you graduated from BTmore than 2 years ago, UAMS does not require a BTcommittee letter. Instead, you must have academic letters submitted from faculty members who know you well. Contact UAMS about specifics regarding the academic letters. The application process informational meeting will address how to request your committee recommendation, how to obtain individual evaluations from faculty members you have selected (you should have 3-5 faculty members submit evaluations for you), and how to schedule your committee interview. You should also arrange for individual recommendations from others who know you well, such as family physicians, pastors, or work supervisors. UAMS allows up to three individual letters. While these are not required, they are strongly recommended because they allow the admissions committee to learn more about you from sources outside of the classroom. Be prepared to genuinely articulate your motivation for pursuing a career as a physician. Dont make up something you think will sound good; be honest and genuine. )*+9=@ٿvj^RERh ~hsT5>*CJH*h ~hsT5>*CJh ~h5>*CJh ~hC5>*CJh7hBM5CJh ~hBM5>*CJh ~h-5>*CJ h ~5CJh7hY75CJh7h-5CJ hCCJ h',CJ h0CJh]x4h',5CJh]x4h5CJ hCJhH6h5>*CJhH6hH65>*CJh ~5>*CJ*+i j -/34{y$ ^a$gdp $ a$gd]x4$ ^a$gdjf$ 0^0a$gdC$ 0^a$gdjf$ !^a$gdC$ !^a$gdjf$ 0^0a$gd $a$gd#      B     ! & ùymf\fPyh ~h75>*CJh7hkV5CJ h75CJh ~h-5>*CJh ~h$5>*CJh ~h-25>*CJh ~5>*CJh ~h ~5>*CJh ~hY75>*CJ h$5CJh7h~R,5CJ hCJh7hY7CJ hY7CJh7h-5CJh ~hBM5>*CJh7hBM5CJ h ~5CJ& + g h i j      " # 0 5 6 B Z ]   ( *    + / } ʾʲʜʜʒʌʌʒ h-2CJhph{5CJ hkVCJ hCJhpha5CJ haCJ hCCJ h',CJ h]x4CJ h{CJ hh5CJ h4CJhBMh5CJhBMhBM5CJ h$5CJ h ~5CJ6 ,-./2R^a}~1234>?ľujd]V hkx5CJ hY75CJ h]x4CJh]x4h]x40JCJjh]x4CJUh]x4h]x4CJjh]x4h]x4CJUh]x4hCJh]x4h-2CJh9h]x45CJh9h-25CJ hCJ h',CJhBMh5CJhBMhBM56>*CJ hBM5CJhBMhBM5CJh ~h-256>*CJ?HIr  YZ{|PRTj-ɻɵ{rrh^hhkxhY75CJhkxhkx5CJhhhH6CJh-hZ(&5>*CJhhhZ(&CJh-hY75>*CJhhhY75CJhhhY7CJ hCJ hCJ hY75CJ h]x45CJh]x4h5CJhkxhkx5CJH* hkx5CJ hH65CJ hW5CJh0hW5>*CJ"-9;lt~z{~$DTk/0Ǹᬥzpj`VOV`HVj h95CJ h-5CJh9h5CJh9h95CJ hCJhBMh95CJ h05CJhBMhp5CJhBMhY75CJh9hpCJ h6CJ h85CJh<0&h56CJh<0&h956>*CJH*h<0&hkx56>*CJh<0&hW56>*CJh<0&h956>*CJhkxhH65CJ h\5CJ0()]^_跭ˣh54hCJh.h$5>*CJh$h$5CJh$h-5CJh$h5CJh9h5CJh.h-5>*CJ h-5CJh9h95CJ hCJ h-CJ hCJ h9CJ.:pC/ =!"#$&% DyK  www.uams.eduyK (http://www.uams.edus2 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~8XV~ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@_HmH nH sH tH 8`8 Normal_HmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k (No List 2B@2 Body TextCJ6U`6 Hyperlink >*B*phFV F ',FollowedHyperlink >*B* phT"T  Colorful List - Accent 1 ^PK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭VvnB`2ǃ,!"E3p#9GQd; H xuv 0F[,F᚜K sO'3w #vfSVbsؠyX p5veuw 1z@ l,i!b I jZ2|9L$Z15xl.(zm${d:\@'23œln$^-@^i?D&|#td!6lġB"&63yy@t!HjpU*yeXry3~{s:FXI O5Y[Y!}S˪.7bd|n]671. tn/w/+[t6}PsںsL.
