1. Liberty University – College of Osteopathic Medicine (LUCOM)
Average GPA: 3.4
Average MCAT: 24
Tuition: $43,500
College of Osteopathic Medicine at Liberty University occupies first place on our ranking 10 easiest doctor of osteopathy schools to get into. Minimum requirements for prospective students include GPA which is not less than 3.0 and MCAT score that is not below 22. However, LUCOM emphasizes that it gives advantage to applicants that have average GPA greater than 3.4 and MCAT result over 24, which is still much lower compared to many other osteopathic schools. Beside standard courses LUCOM also expects that applicants have completed four hours in Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Microbiology, or Genetics. There is one important thing to know about LUCOM. One of the school’s core values is “commitment to incarnational Christianity” and applicants are expected to comply with Christian beliefs. It seems that students of religions other than Christianity or atheists are not the sort of students Liberty University wants to attract.
