These figures demonstrate clearly that good grades throughout college, and high MCAT scores are essential for admission to medical school. These are the best candidates and Fordham's overall placement rate is above the national average. Albany, Albert Einstein, Case Western Reserve, University of Chicago-Pritzker, University of Connecticut, Hanemann University, Howard University, Mount Sinai, New York Medical, University of Pitts burgh, State University of New York at Brooklyn, Buffalo, Stony Brook, and Syracuse, Eastern Virginia, Vermont, and Wayne State. Other students were admitted to dental, osteopathic, podiatric, and veterinary colleges as well as schools of optometry and physical therapy. Fordham students in the pre-medical program receive personal attention.
Classes are small.
Teachers and administrators know the students well and take a spec ial interest in them. Above all, Fordham College offers a solid preparation in humanities and sciences. Medical schools are looking for broadly educated and intellectually enthusiastic students. Critical reading and the ability to write well are as important for future physicians as science knowledge. Fordham is proud of the success rate of students applying to medical schools, and even prouder of the fact that our students are well prepared in every way to face the rigors of medical and profe ssional education.
