Admission Requirements
Trinity’s requirements for admission consist of four main components: 90 undergraduate credit hours, prerequisite courses, letters of recommendation, and completion of the MCAT for U.S. applicants.
Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) scores are required for all U.S. citizens, nationals, and eligible permanent resident applicants and encouraged for everyone else. Scores must be from exams taken within the last 10 years.
Prerequisite Courses:
General Biology – Two academic terms or equivalent.
General Chemistry – Two academic terms or equivalent.
General Physics – One academic term or equivalent.
Behavioral Science – One academic term. An Introduction to Sociology or Psychology would fulfill this requirement. Other Behavioral Science courses may fulfill this requirement.
Mathematics – One academic term of college-level mathematics (trigonometry, analytic geometry, precalculus, or statistics is highly recommended).
English Composition – Two academic terms or equivalent. Courses other than composition with significant expository writing experience will fulfill this requirement. ESL or TESOL courses may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
Advanced placement credits can be used to satisfy some of these requirements.
Prerequisite science and math courses must have been completed within the last 10 years before the application date. Older courses will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
