Applicants' academic qualifications will be pre-screened by the RVU Office of Admissions and interviews will be offered to competitive applicants. Applicant interviews will be conducted virtually and an official campus visit day will be offered to accepted students. The virtual interviews will be approximately 30 minutes in length conducted by a two-person panel of the MCOM team. Interviewers will have access to the applicant’s personal statement, supplemental application, and letters of recommendation. However, the interviewers will be blinded to the applicants’ grades and MCAT scores. All interviewers’ recommendations will be evaluated post-interview by the MCOM Admissions Committee with the final decision made by the Dean.
The Admissions Committee meets at least once a month to make a recommendation to the Dean relative to each applicant’s status. The recommendation can be to offer an acceptance, to place the applicant on the alternate list, or to deny admission. The final decision will be made by the Dean.
