Mission statement

The mission of CUNY School of Medicine is to produce broadly-educated, highly-skilled medical practitioners committed to providing quality health services in communities historically underserved by primary care providers. The School seeks to recruit and educate a talented and motivated pool of students for its BS/MD and Physician Assistant programs, thereby expanding access to medical education for individuals from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds and historically underrepresented communities. CUNY School of Medicine programs achieve academic excellence through rigorous curricula in clinically-oriented basic sciences, population health, research, exposure to a variety of healthcare settings, and professional development.

Notes

Not a conventional MD entry point: the only route is the accelerated 7-year Sophie Davis BS/MD program entered from high school (cumulative HS GPA of 85 across the first three years; SAT/ACT optional through Spring 2027; three essays, five recommendation letters; transfer track for students with at most one semester of college and a 3.5 GPA). The MCAT is not required for entry (fact sheet: the school 'eliminate[s] the MCAT as a roadblock to entry'). January 2024 fact sheet: BS/MD cohort entering 2023 — 1,349 applicants, 123 accepted (9.1%), average class size 65–85; students need a 3.5 cumulative / 3.3 science GPA to progress to the MD phase (for cohorts graduating from the BS program in 2026–27 onward). GPA/MCAT matriculant metrics are therefore not applicable.
