Frequently Asked Questions

We are located on the Downtown Chicago medical campus. We do not hold classes on the Evanston campus.

We do not allow deferred admission. An applicant must enroll during the year they are accepted or reapply in a subsequent year. 

There are no part-time options. Due to the structure of the program, courses and clinical work can only be completed as a full-time student.

Courses cannot be taken pass/fail and must be taken for a grade that contributes to your final GPA. Note: During Spring 2020, many institutions converted their classes to Pass/Fail grading, due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. If you took a prerequisite class during that time that was graded Pass/Fail, please note this on your Supplemental Form, and it will be accepted.

Prerequisites may be fulfilled by AP or IB test, dependent on the specific course. For Statistics, an AP or placement test is acceptable to fulfill the prerequisite. For Psychology, you may list the AP or IB test, but we require that you take at least one course on this topic at the college level.

Courses can be taken at a four-year or two-year institution, in person or online. However, they must be taken at an accredited institution for credit. They cannot be fulfilled by online courses that provide only a certificate of completion.
