Early Assurance Programs

For those students whose academic path is more clearly defined, UB's medical, dental, and pharmacy schools offer special early assurance programs, while the university's School of Law offers guaranteed admission. These unique programs afford students the chance to complete additional studies, study abroad, and pursue other interests free of the pressures of the admissions process.

Medical

Each year, qualified undergraduates may receive formal acceptance from the medical school in the second semester of their sophomore year. To qualify, students must possess a minimum approximate overall and science GPA of 3.75 and complete particular science courses. A combined SAT critical reading and math score of 1400 or above is preferred. Upon receipt of the baccalaureate degree, the medical phase will begin. This is not an accelerated program. The pre-professional health advisor can provide further information.

Dental

Each year, qualified undergraduates may receive formal acceptance to UB's School of Dental Medicine after the second semester of their sophomore year. To qualify, students must possess a minimum GPA of 3.3 and complete specific science courses. Upon receipt of the baccalaureate degree, the dental phase will begin. This is not an accelerated program. The pre-professional health advisor can provide further information.

Pharmacy

Early Assurance to the PharmD program is restricted to students who enter the University at Buffalo directly from high school as freshmen intended-pharmacy majors and earn a minimum 3.50 GPA in science and math prerequisite courses by the end of their third semester.

Law (Guaranteed Admission)

Freshmen students who enter UB with a high school average of 93 and a combined SAT critical reading and math score of 1350 or an ACT score of 30 will be guaranteed admission to the university's School of Law upon declaring an interest in pre-law prior to their matriculation, achieving a cumulative GPA of at least 3.7, and completion of their undergraduate degree.
