What makes these medical admissions a bit more complicated

is the fact that each medical school has its own specific

criteria of admission. While some medical schools allow

elimination of certain subjects, others emphasize on these

courses. However, amidst this variation, some basic courses and

examinations are considered mandatory by most medical

colleges.

The initial screening of aspirants is done through a

computerized evaluation process. This ensures that basic

requirements like courses, MCAT, GPA scores meet the minimum

standard of medical colleges. After this initial screening the

admission procedures of different colleges mainly evaluate the

candidate’s ability to undertake and complete the course.

Admission processes of different medical schools also test the

skill of aspiring students in science and art

simultaneously.

Generally, a med school admission requirement necessitates

the completion of a minimum 1 year coursework. This coursework

should include general biology, physics, inorganic chemistry,

organic chemistry, calculus and English. Most of medical

colleges prefer GPA above 3.5 but they can consider GPA below

3.5 if you have studied in a famous school. 3.3 GPA is

considered a cutoff mark.

Your MCAT scores tell about your mental aptitude. The

general subjects of MCAT are physical sciences, biological

sciences, verbal and writing techniques. MCAT scores can be

improved by attending MCAT preparation courses. Many

institutions are offering such MCAT prep course through

classroom or through online. On an average 70-80% of students

seeking admission in medical colleges join these prep

courses.

Some medical colleges also demand recommendation letters

issued by your current faculty head. These recommendation

letters reflect your performance during the activities listed

in your application. Your performance in extra-curricular

activities also increases your chances to get admission in

medical college of your choice. The importance of other aspects

varies by school.

Top medical schools like Harvard University, Washington

University, Duke University California University of San

Francisco, etc. have more strict admission procedures. Each of

these medical colleges adopts its own standard to evaluate your

capability to become doctor. By visiting counseling center of

these colleges personally or by going though their website, you

can become aware of the specific admission criteria.

Students having even low GPA and MCAT score can get

admission in international medical colleges. However, the study

cost will be a little more than those of US medical colleges.

In any case, medical school requirements of international

universities are much simpler than those of other medical

colleges. This can help many more students to realize their

dream of becoming a physician.
