From The School
AUA requires a minimum of 90 credit hours of college courses and strongly recommends that applicants earn a degree from an accredited undergraduate institution. Although AUA does require that US citizens and permanent residents submit their MCAT scores as prerequisites for admission, it uses a holistic approach to evaluate students and believes there is no correlation between MCAT scores and becoming a licensed, successful, and caring physician.
