Applicants to the Saint Louis University School of Medicine often have many questions about the admissions process. This FAQ answers some of the most common questions we receive about admission to the SLU School of Medicine.
Our admissions committee evaluates applications holistically, including academics and all other relevant experiences and we do not use any GPA cut-offs when considering applicants. Applicants must achieve a highest total score of 498 or above to be considered. You may find averages for the previously accepted class on the Requirements and Standards page. Other than the MCAT threshold, we do not pre-screen applicants; anyone who feels they have a strong application is encouraged to apply.
Every applicant is allotted a maximum of three letters of recommendation. The letters may be from a pre-medical committee with the option of two additional letters or you may submit three individual letters of recommendation. Applicants should not submit additional letters.
