A student
who wishes to prepare for application to medical school
should acquire a broad foundation in the natural
sciences, mathematics, humanities and the social
sciences. Medical schools intentionally limit the
absolute requirements for entry to encourage diversity among their
applicants. Most medical schools require 6
semester hours each of English and mathematics,
and 8 semester
hours each of biology, physics,
general chemistry, and
organic chemistry. Beyond these requirements, pre-medical
students may select any major program they wish to
pursue. The most important requirements for admission to
a medical school are at least a B+ average on all science
courses taken and a good score on the Medical College
Admission Test (MCAT), which is normally taken in the
spring before the senior year.
It is IMPORTANT
that all pre-medical students be advised by a member of
the PRE-MEDICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE so that they
will be prepared for the MCAT and the Committee members
will know them well. The Pre-Medical Advisory Committee
prepares recommendations for medical school.
