Good luck everyone applying here this cycle. I spoke to admissions this morning they will be increasing the class size this upcoming year. It is also true that they switched from p/f grades to letter grades. And the mcat screen score is also 498. They did mention that the average mcat for accepted students increased this year. I just hope they give students with low 500s and sub 500s a chance because being there are limited number of hbcu schools and its already hard for us to be admitted to certain schools due to the end of DEI. Good luck everyone!

 

[Curlygurljas]

That is all true! I am a student in the MSMS program, I will also add they are now requiring mandatory attendance as well for every class starting this school year
