GWU SOM was on probation a few years ago, but they got rid of the problems and now everything has returned to normal. It is the most applied to med school in the US. They receive 10k+ applications each year.
Each program accepts about 15 people each year. The GWU/GWU program is much more competitive than the Bonaventure/GWU program. GWU is considerably more expensive (tuition is at 42k a year,one of the most expensive in the country!) than Bonaventure.
To stay in the program, you must maintain 3.6 GPA and a minimum of grade of B in courses required for admission to medical school. MCATs are not required for matriculation.
