AnthonyM83 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 1. Besides getting into a university, your ACT score has nothing to do with medical school. The MCAT [Medical College Admission Test] is the test for medical school.She was probably replying to my post about SAT scores. If she doesn't know what kind of college range she's fit for, her GPA and SAT/ACT score can guide her to a starting point of colleges to look at.

ERDoc Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 You need to get your bachelors degree first. There are several prereqs that you need to take which include a year of bio, chem, physics, organic chem (all with labs). Some medical schools require math and english. Your major can be anything, as long as you have completed the above prereqs. During your junior year (in April) you take your MCATs. It is then on to medical school (assuming you have been accepted). You then go through 4 years of medical school (same for DOs and MDs). Two of these years are basic science (classroom) and 2 years clinical. During your 4th year of medical school you apply for a residency in the specialty (or specialties) you are interested. In March of your 4th year you find out where you will be going for residency. The length of your residency depends on what field you go into (emergency medicine is 3-4 years depending on where you go). Here are a few websites you might find helpful: www.aamc.org www.studentdoctor.net www.saem.org www.amsa.org www.amsa.org/premed That ought to keep you busy for a while.
