The Office of Enrollment Management has created special admission programs for applicants who have MU-WCOM as a top choice for their medical education. Our Early Decision and Fast-Track Programs have different requirements and deadlines, so please read each program description carefully.
Early Decision Program
MU-WCOM has reserved 10 spots for the Early Decision Program (EDP) to identify highly qualified applicants who consider MU-WCOM as their first choice medical school. Those applicants who apply to MU-WCOM through the EDP are prohibited from applying to other medical schools until they have received their EDP admission decision. Those accepted in the EDP are expected to attend MU-WCOM and will have two weeks from the date of admission to submit deposits.

- Minimum 3.70 cumulative GPA
- Minimum 3.50 science GPA

(MCAT must be taken within three years of matriculation year) - Letter of intent stating MU-WCOM is the first choice
