Medical School Admission Requirements

Medical school admission requirements can vary from school to school, but there are a few guidelines you can follow.
  1. Have a Bachelor's Degree

    • Most schools will not take student who does not have a bachelor's degree, so you'll need to earn one from an accredited school. Recommended majors include biology, physiology, anatomy and any other natural science, although a science-based major is not a requirement to admission.

    Take the MCAT

    • Taking the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a requirement of almost every medical school in the United States. Some schools require a minimum score, while others require it as a formality.

    Undergraduate Pre-Med Courses

    • If your college or university offers a pre-med course list, take as many as you can.

    GPA

    • Because medical school acceptance is very competitive, you will need a good GPA. Most universities recommend a GPA of at least 3.5.

    Volunteer Work and Activities

    • Many applicants do volunteer work or student activities such as clubs or competition. Universities see this as passion and dedication, and are more likely to accept you this way.
