Admissions

David Jones, PhD
Associate Dean for Admissions

Welcome to the admissions website of the University of Texas School of Medicine at San Antonio.  I am very pleased to provide information concerning the admissions process and updates on this year’s application cycle.  Rolling admissions and the medical school match this past February 1 were great successes for our medical school.  Outstanding students were selected into a class of 220, including 54% women and 23% underrepresented minority students.  The average age of the class is 23.  The grade point average of the accepted class was 3.6 and the average MCAT is 30.  These numbers only partially indicate the outstanding quality of our students as many of them have distinguished themselves through personal acheivements both during and after their university studies.  As last year, we were very pleased that over 90% of our class ranked our medical school either first or second in the selection process.  We have finalized the selection of alternates to our acceptance list and will be drawing from the alternate pool up to the start of clases in July 2009.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish the very best to all of our applicants, and especially those of you that have been accepted to our School of Medicine.  We had a wonderful Welcome Weekend on April 3rd and 4th, where over 160 newly accepted students and 75 family and friends enjoyed an introduction to medical school life, receptions and barbecue.  We look forward to again welcoming the entire class to the White Coat Ceremony on Sunday July 26, 2009.  Each year this event is attended by over 1,400 students, family and friends.

Interviews for the 2010 entering class will begin on August 3, 2009 and will continue through mid-December.  Please visit the Information for Applicants section on this page for additional information.  Should you have questions not addressed by this website or the TMDSAS website, please contact the Admissions Office.
