Who Is Eligible
Eligibility is based on academic preparation and demonstrated commitment to healthcare. To be considered, students must meet defined criteria, including:
- Completion of required prerequisite coursework
- Minimum GPA thresholds
- Evidence of commitment to healthcare through service and clinical exposure
- Program-specific standardized testing requirements (such as MCAT, DAT, or OAT, depending on the program)
- Midwestern University’s standards for professional readiness, ethical conduct, and technical competencies
This is a non-exclusive agreement. Meeting eligibility criteria guarantees an interview opportunity — or guaranteed admission for College of Graduate Studies programs — but not automatic enrollment. All applicants must meet Midwestern University’s full admissions standards, and final admission decisions remain with each program’s admissions committee.
Next steps
Current Bradley students interested in health professions graduate programs should connect with their pre-health advisor early to understand program-specific requirements, timelines, and how to build a competitive application.
Bradley alumni who meet the eligibility criteria are also welcome to apply under this agreement.
