Transcripts
Please submit all transcripts from any college or university attended. (If you have already submitted an application to KCUMB's College of Osteopathic Medicine, you do not need to submit at this time. If an offer of acceptance is extended, you will be required to submit all transcripts directly to KCUMB.)
Two Letters of Recommendation
Please submit two letters of recommendation, which should be written by faculty members who can speak to your potential for success in a graduate-level program. (For the biomedical sciences one-year and two-year research tracks, it is suggested that you submit letters from science faculty members.)
Test Scores:
- Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT)
For students wanting to apply to the College of Osteopathic Medicine through either the biomedical science or bioethics one-year track programs, it is highly recommended that students submit official MCAT scores. Applicants with MCAT scores are given priority in the application process.
- Graduate Record Exam (GRE) General Test
Students interested in the two-year research track in biomedical sciences are required to have GRE test scores submitted.
