Training the Future of Healthcare
Our mission is to develop physicians who can serve the needs of our community and each patient as a unique individual. We celebrate the distinctive perspectives and uniqueness of each individual. Our culture of acceptance and collaboration enriches the learning environment for all. As you embark upon the life-changing undertaking of becoming a physician, ponder this; it is through the affirmation of one another's experiences that we become better suited to understand each other and to achieve a greater capacity to impact the world around us.

What Makes Long School of Medicine Special?
Eligibility and Requirements
All applications to the Long School of Medicine are submitted through the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS). Applicants need at least 90 semester credit hours from a U.S. or Canadian college or university, along with prerequisite coursework in the biological sciences, chemistry, physics, English and statistics, each completed with a grade of C or better. The MCAT, letters of recommendation and transcripts are also required for a complete application. At this time, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents can be considered for interview and acceptance. For the full list of prerequisite courses, credit hour requirements, application deadlines and further information, visit Admissions at a Glance.
What We Look for in Applicants
The Long School of Medicine Admissions Committee uses a holistic review process, giving balanced consideration to each applicant's academic record, experiences and personal attributes. Beyond grades and MCAT scores, the committee values healthcare experience, research, leadership, community service and the challenges an applicant has overcome. They also look for qualities that predict a compassionate physician, such as integrity, empathy, maturity and a commitment to serving others, including the medically underserved. To see the complete list of criteria our committee considers, visit Who Are We Looking For?
Meeting our Technical Standards
Technical standards are the physical, cognitive and behavioral abilities every medical student needs to complete the curriculum, with or without reasonable accommodation. They cover areas such as observational skills, motor skills, communication, emotional maturity, ethics and professionalism. By accepting an interview invitation, applicants acknowledge that they have read these standards and can meet them. Visit Technical Standards to read the list of standards and learn about requesting accommodations. Applicants with questions about accommodations can contact the Office of Educational Support Services.
