B. Rocovich Scholars Early Admission Program

The Rocovich Scholars Early Admission Program encourages candidates from rural areas, low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, and underrepresented minorities to enter health careers and studies have shown that students from rural or medically underserved areas are more likely to provide medical care to disadvantaged populations.

To qualify as a 鈥淩ocovich Scholar鈥� through the Rocovich Scholars Early Admission Program, the candidate must be a permanent resident of a rural area, or a federally designated medically underserved area, or qualify as being from a low socioeconomic status (SES) background, or a member of an underrepresented minority; and must attend a college where VCOM has an Articulation Agreement for such a program; and must meet the qualifications outlined in 1.3 and 1.4.

1.3 Rocovich Scholar candidates must apply for early admission following successful completion of the Spring semester of the second year and must have completed (or will complete) the courses outlined in Exhibit A and B with a 鈥淏 or better鈥� in all courses with a GPA of 3.5 in both science and overall. A 3.7 GPA in both science and overall is required to waive taking the MCAT (see 1.5g. below).

1.4 The candidate must interview with and receive a favorable evaluation from the INSTITUTION pre-medical committee/advisor, one member of VCOM student services, and two VCOM admissions committee members designated by VCOM to be accepted as a Rocovich Scholar. VCOM values the interview as a highly important portion of the selection process and merely qualifying academically does not assure success.

1. Meet all general admission requirements as described in Exhibit A and B.
2. Meet all technical requirements for entry as designated in the VCOM College Catalog and Student Handbook.

6. Maintain a science and overall GPA of 3.50 or greater during the entire time of enrollment at INSTITUTION after acceptance. The candidate must submit annually a transcript and letter from his/her pre-medical committee/advisor attesting that the candidate continues to maintain the required GPA and is in good academic and behavioral standing with the INSTITUTION.
7. Present a score of 1100 (two sub-scores 鈥� Math and Verbal) or greater on the SAT or 24 or greater on the ACT at the time of application. (Candidates entering the Rocovich Scholars鈥� Program are not yet prepared to take the MCAT, and, in order for the candidate to have the opportunity to complete all the liberal arts and prerequisites desired, the Rocovich Scholar is not required to take the MCAT at the time of application. (See items 1.5g. 1 and 3 below.)
   1. If the applicant presents (both at application and through the first semester of their junior year) a 3.7 or higher science and overall GPA he/she does not need to sit for the MCAT and it is waived for admission. He/she then must maintain a 3.6 in future semesters and graduate in four years.
   2. If the applicant presents a 3.50 to 3.69 science and overall GPA, and/or has a 3.50 to 3.69 GPA in their combined Junior/Senior years, he or she must sit for the MCAT prior to December 31 of the Senior year and present a score of 493 or higher in order to maintain an offer of admission.
8. Obtain a minimum of forty (40) hours of health care and forth (40) community volunteer hours at time of application as a Rocovich Scholar; and obtain a minimum of eighty (80) hours of health care and eighty (80) community volunteer hours by the time of matriculation.

(Candidates should report all arrest and VCOM will determine if any disqualify the candidate from participation in this agreement). VCOM performs a background check on all candidates entering the medical school and failure to report an arrest may result in loss of Rocovich Scholar status.
