VCU MD Admissions (Fall 2027)

Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine’s official admissions pages confirm the MD program, AMCAS and secondary process, holistic review, and a Zoom MMI. The current pages are generic/undated, so this Fall 2027 page treats dates as provisional and requires a cycle-specific recheck.

Admission requirements

VCU’s prospective applicant page lists a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.3 and minimum MCAT of 503, along with prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, community service, extracurriculars, a personal statement, and letters. VCU participates in AMCAS and invites selected completed and verified applicants to submit a supplemental application; the supplemental should be submitted within 60 days of invitation. VCU prospective applicants

The current interview page describes a Zoom MMI with 6–8 stations. The public pages reviewed do not establish Fall 2027-specific deadlines or requirements, so treat this as a stable process description only. VCU interview

Important dates

The public VCU pages reviewed are generic/undated. Older page language lists regular AMCAS and supplemental timing, but those dates are not asserted here as Fall 2027 dates. Recheck the official cycle page when it is published. VCU prospective applicants

How selection works

VCU describes holistic screening after AMCAS and supplemental review, followed by a Zoom MMI and offer process. The current public page does not publish a complete weighting formula. Use the school’s current criteria as the authority and do not infer an outcome from one metric. VCU prospective applicants

Who this program may suit

VCU may suit applicants who value a Richmond-based MD program with holistic review and a structured Zoom MMI. This is an interpretation of the official admissions pages, not a prediction of fit or admission. Compare VCU’s mission, curriculum, location, cost, and clinical opportunities with your constraints.
