Notes

The Austin branch of Case Western's nationwide MSA program (inaugural class 2022, about 12 seats, plus four Lubbock-rotation seats added in 2024). An MCAT or GRE is required, with recommended MCAT of 500+ or GRE at the 60th percentile in verbal/quant and 4.0 analytical writing, along with the Casper assessment. Shadowing a CAA for 16 or more hours is strongly recommended but not required. Admitted GPAs fall in a middle-80% range (about 3.42–3.95 cumulative, 3.47–3.75 prerequisite) rather than a stated minimum. Estimated total tuition is about $154,920.
