Do you have a chance??? Entrance Requirements - aucmed.edu website

Whoever is in charge of the website really needs to get their act together and clean it up.

I found these requirements buried in a professor's bio page, so for those of you who want to know "WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?", here you go:

http://www.aucmed.edu/07_19.php


NEW AUC ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
ALL APPLICANTS FOR THE JANUARY 2003 SEMESTER AND
THEREAFTER MUST HAVE:

A minimum MCAT score of 20, and

A minimum GPA of 2.6, unless his or her MCAT score is 25 or above.





ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
The minimum requirement for admission to the School of Medicine is 90 semester credits of college level courses. However, a baccalaureate degree is preferred. The college credit must include:

Biology - One year of Biology, including Laboratory work. Prospective students will benefit by taking courses in one or more of the following: Genetics, Cellular Biology, Developmental Biology, and Comparative Anatomy.

General Chemistry - One year of General Chemistry, including Laboratory work. Organic Chemistry - One year of Organic Chemistry, including Laboratory work. Coursework should include both aliphatic and aromatic compounds.

General Physics - One year of General Physics, including Laboratory work. General introductory coursework should include mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, and nuclear radiation.

English - One year. Satisfactory written and verbal skills are necessary. A generous exposure to mathematics, humanities, and social sciences is desired. Real life experience in the health care field is strongly recommended.

A personal interview may be requested at the discretion of the Admissions Committee.

All applicants are expected to take the MCAT.

SELECTION FACTORS
Evaluation for admission is conducted on an individual basis. Students who enter AUC's medical school are selected for their intellectual and social maturity, and they represent a wide variety of educational and social backgrounds.

Problem-solving skills, critical judgment and the ability to pursue independent study are considered important. In evaluating academic achievement, the Committee considers factors such as course load, difficulty of the courses, and major area of study. In the non-academic realm, maturity, personal integrity, emotional and motivational factors are considered essential determinants.

The admissions committee considers that many factors are relevant predictors of a good medical clinician. However, medical school is a rigorous academic challenge and the committee must be satisfied that a prospective student has the ability to successfully assimilate the curriculum.



Aloha,
