The following subjects at M.I.T. satisfy the minimum requirements for most medical schools. It is important, however, to check the requirements for each school to which you plan to apply. A copy is available in Room 12-170.
Most medical schools require one year of biology with laboratory.
Be sure to check requirements in the book, M.S.A.R., as mentioned above. At least four terms of college chemistry are required by medical schools. Generally this requirement consists of one year of general chemistry with laboratory and one year of organic chemistry with laboratory. Any of the two term sequences of calculus classes and physics classes also required for an MIT undergraduate degree usually will satisfy the medical school requirements. Medical schools are concerned that, in addition to a strong science interest and education, applicants are well-versed in the humanities and able to write, speak, and communicate clearly.
