Meeting Harvard Medical School Requirements

<p>OP,
Harvard new requirements says that biologically relevant part of math/sciences is encouraged vs required. They also specifically mentioned about usage of AP credits, I would pay more attention to that. I do not know anybody who has applied to one Med. School. So, might as well make sure to meet general requirements, checking with specific Med. Schools adcoms if needed and take care of AP credit guideline provided by Harvard. I believe that you worry about problem that is the last to worry for you now. Get your college GPA close to 4.0, MCAT some 38+, EC’s…, make sure you do not live life of social hermit, learn to connect to people easily, have fun, then see how close your personal stats and various other accomplishments/experiences match to be considered for good number of Med. Schools. Apply to Med. Schools that apeal to you personally and are good match to above. </p>

<p>Harvard is not as far in requirements as some other schools. They are adding Anatomy, Biochem (last is required by many). My D. had to drop one of her minors to fullfill these requirements that were added AFTER she has applied and registered for Senior Fall semester. Ironically, she turned this Med. School down in favor for another one. But Anatomy class was fun, she enjoyed it. Cannot plan too much, have to stay open to any changes.</p>
