Undergraduate Program Admissions

Students value our intimate setting and small class sizes. Admissions into all our programs are therefore highly competitive. All undergraduate programs require a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 although most successful applicants have higher GPAs. Other criteria may vary by program, so you are strongly encouraged to consult the individual Allied Medical Programs, or contact the SAMP Student Affairs Office to find out specific criteria.

How to Apply

If you are a current or former Ohio State student, or you wish to transfer to Ohio State and have completed the program prerequisites, you may apply. Information about how to apply online, including application deadlines, is located at Ohio State's Professional Programs site. You are advised to apply well ahead of the deadline to allow full review. Applications received after the deadline will be considered only if there's availability in a program.

Financial Aid

All students are encouraged to apply for aid even though an admissions application may be under review. General information about the Office of Student Financial Aid is available on the web at http://sfa.osu.edu/.
