Admissions
Only minimum premedical science courses are
required. Preference is given to residents; a number of
out-of-state residents are accepted yearly. The application of nonresidents who have significant ties to
Indiana may be given greater consideration than to others in this category. The basis for selection is the
school’s own technical standards judged essential, as
well as scholarship, references, personality, and character. Transfer and advanced standing: Only transfers
of Indiana residents from American or foreign medical
schools are considered.
