MD Program
Selection Factors : Places are offered to the applicants who appear to the Committee on Admissions to be the most highly qualified in terms of intellectual growth and achievement, character, motivation, maturity, and emotional stability. For this assessment, college grades, MCAT scores, recommendations from college instructors and others, and personal interviews are used. Interviews are arranged for applicants who have a good chance of being accepted. No applicant will be accepted without a personal interview.
Letters of recommendation are only accepted electronically from Interfolio or VirtualEvals.
Of the approximately 156 places in the class, the majority are Colorado residents. Thereafter, preference is given to applicants from certain western states participating in the WICHE program and to applicants from other states who have high GPAs and MCAT scores. The acceptance ratio is about equal for male and female applicants.
A variety of undergraduate majors are considered acceptable in the selection
of applicants; no special preferences are given to science majors over
non-science majors. However, demonstration of good performance in the required
science courses is essential.
