premedtough Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hi, I already have a degree in Life Science and I am planning to apply to American Medical Schools. I do not have my English credit yet, I am planning to take it this coming year. Do you know if I apply now, will it be a disadvantage for me for early admission because I do not have my English Prerequisite? My gpa is 3.9 (AMCAS Scale) and my mcat is not that great 11/9/11 (PS/VR/BS). Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobigorgohome Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 No, almost all schools with review your completed application without the English prerequisites. There are exceptions (some schools want to see what your English marks are): Penn State, Cornell, Vanderbilt, and maybe VCU This information may be outdated...

premedtough Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thank you so much for your information! Do you know by any chance, as a Canadian with a 3.9 gpa and a MCAT of 11/9/11 stands a chance for low to mid-tier American medical school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobigorgohome Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Unfortunately your stats are not going to help you. They care a lot more about MCAT than GPA. 31 MCAT is on the low end for Canadian applicants. Whether you can get in will depend on how good your ECs are, how well you write your application, and how well you interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lydiajiajia Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have a MCAT of 33Q, does this stand a chance for American schools? Also, if I am going to take an English course in continuing education at Ryerson University, does this credit count as my prerequisite? Thank you!

lydiajiajia Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Also, how should I let the schools know that I will be taking English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
