A strong candidate will have a very high GPA, and an academic record containing college prep coursework, math, and science.
New Penn State students who receive an offer of admission to the program will have until May 1 to accept their offer of admission. Current and former Penn State students who receive an offer of admission to the program will have a limited amount of time to accept their offer of admission. After that time, we may expire offers. The program has a limited number of spaces based on clinical site capacity.
