The minimal MCAT of 24 on your most recent exam, minimum grade of "C" on all required coursework, and 90 hours of undergraduate credit from an accredited U.S. college or university. With rare exceptions completion of an undergraduate degree is required and all work toward current degrees must be completed prior to matriculation to the medical school. All college majors are considered equally, but applicants should consider how the major will be used if acceptance into medical school is never gained. College work must include:
General Biology:................................................................. 8 semester hours
(Embryology and Genetics Recommended)
General Chemistry (with lab):.......................................... 8 semester hours
Organic Chemistry (with lab):........................................... 8 semester hours
(We also accept a 4 term sequence of chemistry that includes Biochemistry from schools with this course sequence)
General Physics (with lab):............................................... 8 semester hours
College Mathematics:......................................................... 6 semester hours
(May include 1 course in Computer Science, Statistics coursework is highly desirable)
English:.................................................................................. 6 semester hours
(If your school requires composition and literature or interdisciplinary reading and writing courses in lieu of English please note this on your Secondary Application)
AP or CLEP coursework appearing on the AMCAS application for which college hour or unit credit is awarded will be accepted to meet a premedical requirement though further coursework in biology and chemistry is desirable and may be necessary in order to be a competitive applicant.
