  • Academic History

    An applicant’s academic history is an important component ICOM’s admissions committee considers when reviewing applications. Applicants must have completed their undergraduate or graduate degree prior to matriculating into medical school. The most competitive applicants would have a science and cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher. All post-secondary coursework is reviewed, including community college credit, by the admissions committee. For a detailed look at ICOM’s admissions requirements, visit this link.
