Transfer Policy
A limited number of spaces are available to accommodate transfer students. The following criteria must be met:
- Applicants must meet the same undergraduate minimum requirements required of all applicants to the College of Medicine, including U.S. citizenship, prerequisite course work, GPA and MCAT score.
- The applicant must be currently enrolled in good standing at an LCME accredited medical school.
- Transfer into the second year will be considered if the requesting student is felt to be able to receive a preclinical education that is consistent with the College's educational program objectives. The combination of the student's completed first year coursework at the previous medical school and the second year coursework at OU must be such that it is deemed that the student will meet OU-COM (preclinical) program objectives.
- Students wishing to transfer into the third year must be on schedule to complete the first two years of medical school prior to the transfer. The applicant must bring certification of having taken USMLE Step 1 examination prior to beginning coursework in the College of Medicine.
Transfer decisions are coordinated by the Associate Dean for Admissions with input from the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. The final determination and extension of offer to transfer will be made by the Associate Dean for Admissions.
