Acceptance Criteria
Grades are not the only criteria for acceptance. Although the greatest weight is placed upon a student's scholastic record, there are many additional factors that are taken into consideration during the admission process. Interviews facilitate the admission process and help the admission committee to determine a student's demeanor, educational level and degree of commitment. Prospective students and applicants are encouraged to present a strong case for themselves through outlining their work or volunteer experience, community contributions and scholastic achievements in their personal essay and by providing strong letters of recommendation. Motivation and perseverance are some of the attributes considered when selecting a applicant.
At present, there is no requirement for an entrance examination. For students from North America, a very good Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores if available may provide an applicant an added advantage in the selection process.

All Saints University School of Medicine is focused on providing equal educational opportunities and does not discriminate against qualified candidates or enrolled students with disabilities. The Technical Standards conveyed here do not serve to intentionally impede any candidate for whom reasonable arrangements would allow the fulfillment of the curriculum. Moreover, all accepted and enrolled students with disabilities have access to every available resource at the University.
who are offered admission should establish discussions with the Technical Standards Committee (TSC) through the Office of the Registrar of the University in order to commence the accommodation process. The candidate is responsible for delivering any necessary and/or supplementary documentation in regard to the degree and nature of disability, the functional restraints and accommodation that need to be considered or catered for. Documentation supplied should be sufficiently current and updated. Requests are reviewed independently with consideration regarding any reasonable accommodation which would allow the candidate to fulfill the technical standards. Accommodations are not reasonable if they pose an immediate risk to the well-being and safety of the candidate or others, if making it requires considerable alteration of the educational program, if it could negatively impact the academic standards, or it represents an undue administrative or financial burden on the University. Accommodation which requires an intermediary or an auxiliary aid that provides cognitive support, medical information, or a selective function are, except in rare cases, not reasonable. Intermediaries and aids may not perform any essential skills or supplement clinical and or moral judgement in the interest of the candidate.
The TSC maintains the right to request additional documentation, release information to third parties inside or outside the University for professional evaluation and may require candidates to undergo additional examination by experts. Such examination will be at the candidate’s expense. Enrollment in the program is contingent on the candidate’s willingness and capacity to fulfill the technical standards with reasonable accommodation.
