<p>Hey please only post the ones that do NOT require the MCAT?
Also what do they require for example and what are my chances:</p>
<p>I am number 5 in my class
4.375 GPA
I attend the Magnet program for the Academy of research and medical sciences
I am aiming for a 30 or 31 on the ACT?
Volunteered at a hospital for 2 summers
Volunteered at Pinnacle Orthopedics
Interned at another hospital
Am a part of Health Occupation Students of America
Beta Club
National Honor Society
Science Club</p>
<p>You’d want to aim higher than a 30/31 to be competitive. Can you break 33? Otherwise, med ECs look ok.</p>
<p>Thing is, there aren’t that many that have no MCAT requirement, and thing is, the MCAT requirement in programs with the requirement is not a bad thing. Some of the programs that don’t require MCAT are the Albany ones and some of the NJMS ones. There are certainly more though.</p>
<p>a)The MCAT req. is usually rel. low for those which require it so it’s not something that can’t be attained with a little bit of work.
b)you almost want the pressure of the req. otherwise the last pressure-filled test you would have taken before your Med School Board would have been ACTs which is a high school standardized test.</p>
<p>That said, a google search should help you find a list of programs and/or whether they require MCAT.</p>
<p>yeah, i guess the best bet would be to check on the program’s website to verify because as you note, program reqs do change over time and can be inconsistent. </p>
<p>Get a feel for the ACT; I was assuming that you already knew your capability and that a 33 would be an attainable stretch. But yeah, obviously aim for the highest, 34+ is solid. 33 is ok but obviously not optimal. Also, consider looking at the SAT because a lot of programs are more familiar with that. But I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say admission is “guaranteed” even with a high ACT score due to the competitive nature, but you wouldn’t be in bad standing. Also note that almost all BS/MD programs have an interview process in which your acceptance is reliant on you having a good interview which is an element that makes admission to such programs far from guaranteed.</p>
<p>The best BS/MD program in the nation in my honest opinion is Northwestern’s MSTP program. By far. Why? Very lax GPA requirement (3.2). No need to take the MCAT, it’s optional. Guaranteed into Northwestern’s Medical School. Also eligible for Northwestern’s merit scholarships to even cut the price down even more. </p>
<p>Here is a site that compares and lists almost if not all BSMD programs in the US:</p>
<p>Good luck! They are tough programs to gain admittance to (especially Northwestern’s), but the good ones are worth every second of effort you put into getting into them. Avoid applying to the programs that aren’t worth the time and effort and focus on your application essays and time on the really amazing programs.</p>
<p>If you cared to even look at my link, or even simply googled the program you’d see that it is not. </p>
<p>EDIT: I see I said “MSTP” in my original post. If that is what confused you, sorry. It is indeed a BS/MD program, I just used the words MSTP by mistake. </p>
