NotesChecked 2026-09-14 against the school's own published figures: mean MCAT 513; mean GPA 3.7; class of 151. Where a figure is marked mean, the school publishes a mean rather than a median. Not confirmed from the school's own pages: science GPA, in-state share. AMCAS application; public school within Old Dominion University with moderate Virginia-resident preference (~50% VA matriculants). The school does not publish an accepted-applicant count, and the acceptance rate previously shown here was inconsistent with its own applicant and class-size figures, so it has been removed rather than estimated. Check MSAR for the official rate.

Tutor insight
EVMS's community health mission is genuine — interviewers look for applicants with concrete experience in underserved or community settings, not just hospital volunteering. The Hampton Roads region has significant health disparities; be ready to discuss limited insurance access, military and veteran health issues, and reproductive health ethics. EVMS no longer uses an MMI, so in your one-on-one interviews draw on community contexts rather than only hospital-based examples. Research the school's distinctive reproductive medicine program and its historic role in the region.
