Admission to the Medical Laboratory Sciences Program is competitive. At present, about 25 students are admitted in the fall and spring semesters (total of about 50 annually). Since more eligible students apply than can be admitted, no one is guaranteed a seat in the program. To be eligible a student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. However, in recent semesters the average GPA of admitted students has been 3.3.

Once accepted to the program, students will receive a letter from UAPC. New Students must attend course registration/advising sessions prior to the start of their first semester.
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program, which is based, by necessity, on the limitations of space and resources. The Hunter College Medical Lab Sciences Program is dedicated to equal opportunity for all applicants who meet admission requirements.
