Those credits must include biochemistry, statistics and at least one laboratory course in biology, chemistry or physics. One social or behavioral science course is also required. Community-college work is accepted; AP and online coursework are reviewed case by case. Requirements

The MCAT is required with a published minimum total of 495. For Fall 2027, scores may be no older than September 2023, and September is the latest testing month.

How selection works

OUWB describes a holistic process balancing three categories: Experiences, Attributes and Metrics. Review may consider academic performance and MCAT alongside service, clinical exposure, research, life experience, personal qualities, communication and alignment with the school's mission. Admissions process

Primary applications are screened before a supplemental invitation. Completed applications are reviewed for a virtual interview, and the Admissions Committee makes rolling decisions beginning in mid-October. Admissions process

The school does not publish numerical weights for Experiences, Attributes, Metrics or interview components, nor interview scoring anchors, a screening formula or committee voting rules.

Interview details

Confirmed

For the 2026–27 cycle, interviews are virtual from mid-August through early March. Interview Day includes three short interviews with people who may be students, staff, faculty or alumni, followed by one traditional one-on-one interview with a faculty physician or foundational-science faculty member. Interview Day

The process is semi-blind: interviewers do not receive the applicant's academic metrics, MCAT, institutions attended or recommendation letters. The interview day also includes information sessions and opportunities to learn about the school. Interview Day

Not published

The official page does not label all three short interviews as MMI stations. It does not publish the duration of each component, platform, exact prompts or domains, scoring anchors, relative weights or applicant-specific schedule. Those details should not be inferred.

Who this program may suit

OUWB is the medical school of Oakland University and trains with Corewell Health as its clinical partner. The official admissions identity remains Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, so Corewell Health or Beaumont should not become a separate School Page or application. Admissions

The school highlights community engagement, patient-centered care, scholarship and Southeast Michigan. Applicants can test fit by linking these priorities to one sustained activity and the people affected, while recognizing that OUWB states no formal in-state preference.

Practice and next step

Record a 90-second answer about a time you had to build trust with someone whose perspective differed from yours. Name the situation, your action, the effect and what you learned. Review whether the evidence is specific and whether you listened before acting, adjust the weakest sentence, then record a second response and compare warmth, clarity and reflection.
