Editor's notes
- Check the ACCM dates before you commit. Xavier's own page says ACCM's WFME recognition runs to Dec. 31, 2026, and that recognition is what keeps graduates eligible for ECFMG certification. Ask admissions in writing what happens after that date. You'd be starting in 2027 and applying to residency around 2031.
- No MCAT, no fee and three start dates make Xavier easy to apply to. That puts more weight on what you can show: the committee looks at your cumulative and science GPA, medical shadowing or volunteering, and a Zoom interview. Treat the interview like any other medical school interview.
- Budget carefully. Tuition alone for a student starting in summer 2026 or later adds up to $187,700 across the basic science and clinical phases before fees, housing and insurance. Xavier's listed financing leans on a private loan, payment plans and scholarships, so map out how you'll cover the full cost before you commit.
