All candidacy list requirements must be completed by the last day of the Winter 2007 semester. Completion of the candidacy list requirements, as determined by the Pre-Admission Health Science Audit, places you on the candidacy list, but does not guarantee a seat in the program.

For applicants on the candidacy list, a program-specific GPA will be calculated using the following four (4) courses: READ 110, BIOL 205, CHEM 105, and PSYC 201. Admission to the program is based upon the students with the highest program-specific GPA's. Should two individuals qualify for the same seat, the cumulative GPA listed on the LMC transcript will determine the ranking. A secondary tie breaker will be the score from the Algebra Proficiency Test or the final examination grade received in the MATH 125 course.

When all the above requirements have been completed, the student must request a Pre-Admission Health Science Audit by submitting the audit request form to the Records Office (form is available from Records Office or Health Science Office).
