Bawgg Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Well guys, as the title says, would anybody know the names if all/most US allopathic medical school that have no prereqs, and have a holistic selection process. Ihavent taken bio, chem, or physics at uni but I have self studies these courses and did pretty well on the MCAT too. I am an unconventional, Canadian premed and wanted to apply to the US this coming year. I could use your help. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGrisham Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Only a subset of schools are Canadian friendly in the first place, and the vast majority require pre-reqs. Can't think of a Canadian friendly school that doesnt require pre-reqs. If you want to go to a US med school, put your head down and take the pre-reqs by distance ed if you have to. Should be a breeze especially considering you already self studied and did well on the MCAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendi Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I don't think I can remember any medical school that has no prerequisite, and believe me I've looked through pretty much every Canadian-accepting institutions listed in MSAR. It's not something you can dodge away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Canadian institutions are much more forward-thinking when it comes to pre-reqs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, basic science in Years 1/2 in Canada is much less on minutae compared to the US. So i can see how having some biochem and such would be helpful in the U.S. I will say the traditional pre-reqs are pretty pointless (chem, physics etc) from a medical perspective. Sure helps here and there (looking at you hendersen hasselbach and drug ADME), but things like anatomy and physiology are better pre-reqs if youre going to force it.
