Hello!

I want to know what is the worst looking appilcation that can be accepted in Any australian medical university.



Bachelors Degree in biology (GPA 2.98)
Some research experience in undergrad
Volunteer work
In honor society for a year
Have also gotten scholarship
Was in national guard for a year

NO MCAT

In medical university of lublin in poland (2nd year 1st semester)

Is there any college that would accept this.


Let me know what are the chances... i m just wondering...

Real application is not as bad as it looks here.....

Thank you

I hope you're not related to Dr. J Patel.

dpatel

A GPA of 2.9 would make you eligible for most schools GPA cut off, but you must sit MCAT to apply for any medical school in Australia

[dpatel22]

Hey

why do u say that.... btwn i dont know any Dr J Patel.


What is the MCAT score cut off for australian uni.

Can i finish my clinical rotations in Australia after 2 years of Medschool in poland

what are the requirements for that

[Lyndal PN]

MCAT scores vary slightly between schools, but generally around 24 and M is the cut off- for most schools the higher the better. As far as I am aware you would need to start medcal school again- I dont know of any schools that would let you transfer into the program part way through your studies.

Dr J Patel was a doctor who was found to have caused heaps of surgical problems and deaths a few years ago in Australia (but the probleems had started before this in the US) - George was just being funny ;)

There are 4, and 5-6 year medical schools in Australia. The four year programs require a Bachelor or higher degree completed, you need to take the MCAT and for most schools the minimum is 8-8-8M. Some schools do not have a minimum posted. In general you cannot transfer credit from another medical school, so you will have to repeat all years. They are strict with Australian students about this too.

hello!!
I have just graduated from undergraduate college in Texas. I have a bachelor's in biology and psychology. I have a 28 on mcat and I have quite intensive volunteer work. I am considering applying to medical school in Australia and I was wondering how often international students were accepted. I am currently in Pakistan. I just graduated in December 2007.
thank you!!!!
