American Canadian School of Medicine (ACSOM) admission requirements are similar to medical schools in the U.S. and Canada, per Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) guidelines. The Admissions Committee evaluates applicants in a comprehensive manner to consider not only GPA and test scores, but also motivation, maturity, volunteer service, leadership ability, and knowledge of the medical field. This well-rounded evaluation ensures a prospective student has the ability to excel on the ACSOM campus.
Decision
The Faculty Admissions Committee holistically reviews each qualified application and makes all admissions decisions. The committee then informs the applicant within 30 days of the interview.
