Special Programs

The Office of Enrollment Management has created special admission programs for applicants who have MU-WCOM as a top choice for their medical education. Our Early Decision and Fast-Track Programs have different requirements and deadlines, so please read each program description carefully.

Early Decision Program

MU-WCOM has reserved 10 spots for the Early Decision Program (EDP) to identify highly qualified applicants who consider MU-WCOM as their first choice medical school. Those applicants who apply to MU-WCOM through the EDP are prohibited from applying to other medical schools until they have received their EDP admission decision. Those accepted in the EDP are expected to attend MU-WCOM and will have two weeks from the date of admission to submit deposits.

Program Requirements:

  • Minimum 3.70 cumulative GPA
  • Minimum 3.50 science GPA
  • 505 on the 2015 MCAT
    (MCAT must be taken within three years of matriculation year)
  • Letter of intent stating MU-WCOM is the first choice
  • Indicate their intentions of applying to the EDP on the supplemental application
  • Meet general application requirements

Applicants who do not qualify for the EDP are encouraged to apply through the regular admission process.
