  • Please note that AUC will not consider MCAT scores or UCAT scores more than five years old.
  • AUC looks at both overall GPA and science GPA.
  • Required for non-native English speakers or applicants who graduated from institutions in which the education is not delivered in English, or as requested by the Admissions Committee if deemed necessary to assess success at AUC.
