Early Assurance Program – UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences
As per recent correspondence (this week) with the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the SAT of 1400 is REQUIRED to be considered for admission. This represents scoring on the verbal and quantitative sections only. Please note that the 1400 needs to be from the single best set of scores and cannot be the result of combining administrations if you took the SAT more than once. At least ½ of the prereq science courses must be completed at the time of application (Feb 1 of the sophomore year) with no grade lower than B.
If you have questions particular to Early Assurance, please schedule an appointment with Libby Morsheimer by calling our main office at 645-6013.
