<p>I know there is a program at Tulane in which you dont have to take the MCAT and automatically get accepted into Tulane Medical School after your four years at Tulane. Can anyone tell me more about this program or send me any links please? I checked Tulane's website there is not much info. I emailed an admissions counselor at Tulane and the counselor replied by copying and pasting the info on the website. Thanks.</p>
<p>Is this the info they sent you on the Creative Scholars Program? </p>
<p>Creative Premedical Scholars Program
Through the Creative Premedical Scholars Program, a limited number of well-qualified creative students are guaranteed acceptance to Tulane's School of Medicine following their sophomore year of college. The certainty of having a reserved place in medical school frees the student from the stresses and concerns associated with the competition for entrance. Furthermore, it allows students to take maximum advantage of educational opportunities they might be reluctant to experience if still concerned about gaining acceptance, such as studying aboard. </p>
<p>To be eligible students must chose a nonscience major, complete both their freshman and sophomore years at Tulane University, complete a minimum of 60 credits of undergraduate work and all of the premedical course requirements during the regular academic year (not summer) of their freshman and sophomore years: one year each of general biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics, all with laboratories. Students who receive advanced placement credit in general biology upon entry to Tulane can use this for the Creative Scholar Program but will be expected to take at least one year of advanced course work in biology if they chose to apply to other medical schools, even if accepted to Tulane Medical School. A minimum grade-point average of 3.6 is required; if accepted the MCAT examination is not required for Tulane Medical School.
Students who have completed more than two years of undergraduate work and have transferred to Tulane from another college are not eligible. </p>
<p>Application materials are available during the first week of February in the Preprofessional Office. The completed application, including a transcript of work through the first semester of the sophomore year, faculty evaluations, and all other required materials, must be submitted to the Preprofessional Office by April 1 of the year in which the student applies. As a component of the application, the student must submit a carefully devised academic plan for their third and fourth undergraduate years. The Nominating Committee conducts interviews with applicants at the end of April and selects students to Tulane Medical School by mid June; this is also when the students receive a letter stating the Committee’s decision. The Admissions Committee of Tulane School of Medicine generally notifies candidates with an additional letter of acceptance in the early fall.</p>
<p>** And more......**</p>
<p>We also offer the Creative Premedical Scholars Program. Students who are accepted into this program have automatic acceptance into Tulane Med School. To be eligible, students are expected to follow an academically rigorous program while maintaining a high level of academic performance, a 3.6 and higher, throughout their college careers. Students must complete the following courses at Tulane during the regular academic freshman and sophomore years:</p>
<p>Biology (8 credits with laboratory)
General chemistry (8 credits with laboratory)
Organic chemistry (8 credits with laboratory)
Physics (8 credits with laboratory)
Students who are accepted into this honor program do not have to take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT).</p>
