Evangel University Premed Program
Evangel applicants to medical school have been very successful. Since the early 1990s, 92 percent of EU medical school applicants were admitted if their GPS was 3.5 or higher and they scored average or better on the MCAT (25).
Why is our premed program so successful?
Curriculum
The premed courses have been meticulously tailored to provide the knowledge students need for the MCAT and medical school.
Student involvement
Evangel University’s Premedical Society is a very active student-led group that provides information and support to premed students. They visit medical schools, sponsor the bi-annual campus-wide blood drive, and meet for social activities.
Research experience
Many medical schools want applicants to have research experience. EU’s premed curriculum integrates research at several levels, culminating in a mentored research project either on or off-campus. Many of our premed students have taken advantage of these research opportunities.
Shadowing/healthcare work experience
We assist our students arrange for physician shadowing and medical internships to gain valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of a career in healthcare. Medical schools encourage their applicants to have these experiences.
