successful completion of the first year of medical school. Candidates
must have an SAT score at or above 1360 for the combined critical
reading and math section (the writing score will not be considered)
with no single score lower than a 560 in each section. ACT equivalent 31 composite. All other eligibility requirements are the same as those for the Early Assurance Program.
Once
