School of Medicine Guarantee

* Indicate Pre-Medicine or Bioengineering on admissions application. Your completed application and supporting credentials must be received on or before December 15 for best chances of consideration.

To compete for the medical school guarantee, applicants must meet the initial eligibility requirements of earning the highest grade point average available in their high school in the context of a curriculum showing the greatest academic rigor possible and earning a minimum SAT I score of 1450 (combined Critical Reading and Math) or 33 ACT.

Students meeting these criteria will be asked by the School of Medicine to submit additional information in support of their candidacy. Students selected on the basis of their submissions will subsequently be invited for an interview in the School of Medicine.

The choice of final candidates is contingent upon this interview in combination with other factors. Historically, an average of 8-13 students from the entering undergraduate class are chosen each year for the School of Medicine guarantee.

Students offered the guarantee must complete an undergraduate degree at Pitt within four years, complete the prerequisite course work, maintain a cumulative science and quality point average of at least 3.75, and engage in undergraduate research and extracurricular activities that provide greater knowledge of the science and practice of medicine.
