Admission process notes:

All Ohio residents will receive a secondary application. All other applicants will receive a secondary application if they have a 490 MCAT and a 2.75 science GPA. All OU-HCOM applicants will be automatically considered for admission to the Athens campus. The secondary application allows applicants to express their interest in the Cleveland and/or Dublin campus. Campus admissions decisions will be made by the selection committee and will be based on an applicant’s fit for each campus. Note that the Cleveland and Dublin campuses have specific missions requiring applicants to have a connection to Northeast Ohio (Cleveland campus) or Central Ohio (Dublin campus). Examples of a legitimate tie to these areas include residing there, attending a college or university in the region, or having immediate family members living there.
