admissions requirement question

I realize that even int'l med schools have different admissions requirements. I only have a 3.0 G.P.A. but I have a great degree in professional chemistry. I also have a minor in physics. I have over 140 American hours. The only thing is I have to take the second semester of freshman Biology this summer to meet requirements. With all of this on my record do you think I have a reasonable shot at getting in? And can I go ahead and apply even though I still need to complete one class. I am still waiting on my MCAT results.

I am sure that you would get in. MCAT is not required and if you have a 3.0 with a chem bachelor and minor in physics, I don't think that their will be much concern that you won't pass the second biology term. Go ahead and apply for Sept.

Just apply!

If you're unsuccesful, improve a little and try again.

I went to their website and found an application but it doesn't give much information on the admissions process. Like how many letters of rec, transcripts, passports do I need?

Some of it is on other pages, but what I sent was this:
Application filled out via Word (I used "insert" and made sure the underline setting followed my typing.

a copy of my transcripts to date

my fee

my CV and my Personal statement

The rest will come later. I just got my acceptance letter and it worked for me. Send in everything you can in support of your application. With what you have , if truthful, you are a likely "in" candidate. I am really excited to know that I am starting. No more Pre-meds for me!

that's true bts

but if you can't send official transcript s WITH your app, Dr. ***** will accept it as long as the scripts get there by a certain date.

transcripts

Just ensure you make the proper arrangements with the registrar of your school to have official transcripts sent directly to St Chris.
