Applying w/o MCATs

[Guest Jane]

Hello, Does anybody know of any American med schools that don't have MCAT requirements?

You really want to purchase, or examine an MSAR:

 

Medical School Admissions Requirements

pnet400.aamc.org/AAMC_Store/itemDetail.cfm?store=PUBLICATIONS&item=ARA1&category=

 

This will be the fastest way to find your information definitively without visiting each medical school's web-site. As far as US schools that don't require the MCAT, I'm currently not aware of any, although I wouldn't be too surprised if they did exist. However, for the purposes of med school admission, you've really handicapped your application if you don't have a good score on the MCAT in your back pocket. In Canada, for English med schools you'd be limited to Ottawa and McMaster only.

Hopkins does require MCATs and so do the SC schools. I know I read somewhere (a couple of years ago) of one or two schools that do not require them, just can't find them now.

Apparently that changed when JHU joined AMCAS 2 years ago.

 

Dartmouth : here's what they say...."All candidates are expected to present scores from the Medical College Admissions Test. Students who choose not to submit MCAT scores will be at a disadvantage in our highly competitive admissions process."

 

Rochester....used to be not required. can't tell you about today.

 

I don't think Brown either....but even if you wanted a PhD good luck trying to get in.

i ended up calling all US schools this summer for application information (re: canadian applicants). to my knowledge, all schools that accept canadians require mcats
