        CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (CONTINUED)
 
PART 242_ADMISSION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, 
 
Sec. 242.9  Academic, intellectual, and personal requirements for admission to 

advanced standing.

    (a) Selection of students to advanced standing will be competitive, 
based on both cognitive and noncognitive factors. Demonstrated aptitude 
and motivation for a career in medicine in the Uniformed Services will 
be prime considerations in making admissions decisions. Only the most 
promising of candidates will be accepted, as judged by scholastic 
records, letters of recommendation, interviews, and such other 
credentials and/or appraisal techniques as may be deemed appropriate to 
use by the School of Medicine.
    (b) To be eligible academically for admission to advanced-standing, 
applicants must have successfully completed the year of medical studies 
preceding the year in which they desire advanced placement. Only 
students from fully accredited medical schools will be eligible for 
transfer.
    (c) Individuals who have received the D.D.S., D.M.D., Ph.D., D.O., 
or D.V.M. degrees, or candidates for these degrees will not be eligible 
for advanced placement in the School of Medicine at this time. They will 
only be considered for admission to the Freshman class. Advanced 
standing applicants are required to have taken the Medical College 
Admission Test.
