We hope you find the information on the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine (SOM) Office of Admissions website helpful. Our goal is to select the most capable students to attend our school by using AAMC Holistic Review Project E-A-M Model of evaluating Experiences, Attributes and Metrics to determine how the applicant might contribute to VCU School of Medicine learning environment as well as to the medical profession as a future physician. VCU School of Medicine is seeking to enroll and graduate a class representing many dimensions of diversity.

Exposure to a variety of experiences, perspectives and interests prepares students to become competent physicians with a commitment for learning and a passion to serve others in all walks of life. If you have questions not addressed on the website or our Frequently Asked Questions we invite you to contact us. We look forward to assisting you.
