The Admissions Committee considers the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores as part of its review and decision-making process. 
Note: The MCAT must have been taken no earlier than five years before the experienced date of enrollment. The Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine will not accept MCAT scores that are more than five years old. 

The MCAT is a standardized, multiple-choice examination designed to assess problem-solving, critical thinking, and knowledge of science concepts and principles prerequisite to the study of medicine. 

The MCAT exam is administered multiple times from late January through September and offered at hundreds of testing sites in the United States, Canada, and around the world. More information on preparation, registration, and application is available on the MCAT Home Page. Once the MCAT is taken, scores must be released directly to the Texas Medical & Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS). For instructions, visit the TMDSAS website. 

The MCAT includes four sections, and four scores will be reported: 

• Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems
• Chemical and Physical Foundation of Biological Systems
• Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
• Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
  
  The four sections will have numeric score values. Total testing time, with breaks, is expected to be seven-and-a-half hours. 
  
  Although an applicant’s performance on the MCAT is used in admission decisions, it is not the sole criterion for consideration. In the evaluation process, MCAT scores are used in combination with the total academic record including but not limited to performance in BCPM courses, rigor of major, trends of performance, research activity, publications, poster presentations, and/or post-baccalaureate programs of study.

A maximum of three evaluations or a Health Professions Advisory packet are required. 

Health professions advisers and/or faculty play an important role in helping the admissions committee assess the intellectual ability, personal attributes and motivation for medical school training and medicine as a career. Therefore, prospective applicants are urged to get to know their advisers and teaching faculty early in their undergraduate education experience to ensure support of their application. 

Evaluators should submit letters of evaluation or a Health Professions Advisory Committee Evaluation (HPAC) packet directly to TMDSAS. All letters of evaluation MUST include the following: 

• Official letter head (personal or professional) 
• Contact information of evaluator (phone number and email address) 
• Applicant name along with TMDSAS or AMCAS ID 
• Signature of evaluator 
• Date on the letter (The Admissions Committees will take the date of the letter into consideration during the review, with a strong preference for current letters). 
• Letter must be written in English 

Letters missing any of this information will not be accepted. 

Letters can be submitted to TMDSAS by mail or submitted electronically via Interfolio or Virtual Evals. They can also be uploaded through the TMDSAS Advisor or Evaluator Portal. 

Letters of evaluation from faculty are preferred, however, letters from physicians, other medical personnel, research mentors or employment supervisors are acceptable as well. TMDSAS will authenticate all letters and Health Professions Advisory packets. 

If an applicant is no longer in undergraduate school and cannot obtain an evaluation from their former health professions adviser or health professions advisory committee, they should proceed as follows: 

• If attending graduate school, one evaluation must be from the applicant’s graduate advisor, or a faculty member in their degree concentration, or the chairperson of their department. 
• If an applicant has been out of college for more than one year and is currently employed or serving in the military, one of the required evaluations must be written by their immediate supervisor or commanding officer. 
• If self-employed, one of the recommendation letters must be from a business associate. The evaluation must detail the applicant’s performance and character traits. 

If an applicant cannot obtain a letter from a health professions advisor or faculty member because they have been out of school for several years, they must submit at least two letters from employment supervisors or associates, medical personnel, and/or research mentors to complete the evaluation packet. 

The Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine places high priority on letters of evaluation from engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, and other STEM discipline specific recommenders.
