NO MCAT Combined Medical Programs

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs
1

<p>Hi im only a sophmore in highschool
but i am very curious to finding out which colleges offer combined medical programs either BS/MD or BA/MD or whatever else that can be offered but do not require taking the M CAT.
anyone that can help me find which colleges offer this will be greatly apreciated.
Off the top of my head i believe the only colleges i know personally that have combined medical programs that do not offer the M CAT are:
Union
Brown
Rice/Baylor</p>

<p>Also i have come to know that usually the COMBINED programs that are 7 or 8 years long offer the no M CAT. And typically the ACELERATED programs that are 6 years long require taking the M CAT.
So in your reply please post how long the program is.
THANKS
and please post back =)</p>

<p>University of Toledo has a combined 8 year program where you do bioengineering as your major for four years and then med school w/o MCAT. It's considered accelerated because normally at UT it takes five years to get your degree in bioengineering.</p>

3

<p>Northwestern HPME has no MCAT requirement</p>

<p>thanks tangytart lol anyone else so far the list is four

<p>A sophomore in HS -- good going on the head start!
I would suggest taking the MCAT and doing well on it, no matter what your program says (this may give you a scholarship, at the very least).
As of now, however, worry about the SAT.</p>

<p>uh yeah i realise that i am kinda looking to far ahead but i really would like to know these colleges so anyone that knows of any other combined mecial programs with no M CAT.
please post back</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, why do you care whether or not a program requires the MCAT?</p>

8

<p>For programs with MCAT requirements, what happens if someone gets a score below the requirement? Are they allowed to take the MCAT again or are they kicked out of the program?</p>

9

<p>Yes. They're mostly very lenient. The standards are pretty low and lower than the average for the entering class.</p>

<p>I would think because there's a difference between being pressured into doing something and doing it of your own volition. My program does not require the MCAT, but I'm taking it anyway because I want to. I feel that my preparation will be less stressful and determined by self-motivation, which yields more effective results (for me) than pressure-based preparation. I'm sure others are motivated more by pressure though, so they may want to go to programs that require the MCAT.</p>
