Medical School for Non-Traditional Pre-Med

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

Good Morning Everyone,

I currently hold two degrees from two different highly rated public institutions. One in Human Development with an Early Childhood Certificate and a bachelor of science in speech and hearing sciences from one of the top programs in the country.

My question is is medical school an option for me?

I have a 3.6 in all my major classes from both degrees and a 3.4 GPA overall from both schools. I have 1 year research experience and two years of working experience with pilot special education programs in public schools. I have recommendations from two professors from my speech classes/research experience and one from my work experience.

I am not looking at going to Yale or Harvard, but I am wondering if any US schools are an option and if so what MCAT score would I need?

Thank you all for your time.

To med schools, “non-traditional” has a different definition from your own. A “non-Traditional” applicant is some one who has been out of the academic study for over 5 years. Your situation is still considered as traditional.

With a CGPA(overall) of 3.4, It is highly unlikely you will be accepted by a MD school, but you have a shot at a DO school. But before you can apply, you need to:

A. Completed your med school pre-requirement.
B. Took Mcat
C. Enough shadowing, research in medicine and medical related volunteering.

So, what have you done with the above three?
