Since medical and dental school requirements are undergoing change, students are strongly urged to be familiar with the specific requirements of the schools to which they intend to apply. Information on the specific requirements of medical schools may be found in Medical School Admission Requirements, available from the premedical advisor. Corresponding information regarding dental schools may be found in Admission Requirements of American Dental Schools, available through the dental advisor. If students have strong foundations in science, they may major in almost any area. However, a major in chemistry with the addition of Biology 101 and 103, or a major in biology with a full year of physics, or a biochemistry major usually will meet the requirements.
Applications are available from the program advisor.
A basic understanding of statistics is recommended for this exam. It may be obtained by taking Math 224 Elements of Statistics or Math 312 Intermediate Statistical Methods. Applications for the test may be obtained from the program advisor. Arrangements for taking these tests are the responsibility of the student.
