In addition to an academic major advisor, the student will be assigned a Pre-Med advisor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marymount.edu\/Home\/Contact-Us\/Faculty-Staff-Directory?profileid=100\">Dr Deana Jaber<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Although medical schools do not require specific degrees as prerequisites for admission, most require strong academic performance in specific courses. The courses most often required include General Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, General Physics I and II, Calculus I, and General Psychology and Sociology.<\/p>\n<p>For Marymount students who choose to major in Biology, a Pre-Med concentration is offered. To be a successful medical school applicant, students must also demonstrate an understanding of the medical profession through work or volunteer activities. Required MCAT scores vary by school.<\/p>\n<p>At Marymount, students considering professional study in health fields usually consider Biology or Biochemistry as an undergraduate major, but pre-professional requirements can be met through a variety of undergraduate fields. Students should consider majoring in the subject area in which they have the strongest aptitude and interest. Acceptance into health-related professional schools is highly competitive and requires the maintenance of a fairly high undergraduate grade point average. The Pre-Med advisor is available to help design the best possible course sequence for all students interested in a Pre-Med curriculum regardless of their major.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Application and Admission to Medical School<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/choosing-medical-career\/what-expect-medical-school\">What to Expect in Medical School<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/preparing-medical-school\/10-things-do-prepare-applying-medical-school\">10 Things to Do to Prepare for Applying to Medical School<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mec.aamc.org\/msar-ui\/#\/landing\">Admissions Requirements for Medical School (U.S. and Canada)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/applying-medical-school\/applying-medical-school\">Applying to Medical School<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/applying-medical-school\/what-do-during-gap-years\">What to Do During a Gap Year(s)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/applying-medical-school\/how-medical-schools-review-applications\">How Medical Schools Review Applications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Timeline-for-Application-Admission-to-Medical-School.pdf\">Timeline for Application &amp; Admission to Medical School<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/applying-medical-school\/what-admission-officers-wish-premeds-knew-applying\">What Admission Officers Wish Premeds Knew Before Applying<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/real-stories-demonstrating-premed-competencies\/premed-competencies-entering-medical-students\">The Core Competencies for Entering Medical Students<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Timeline-for-Application-Admission-to-Medical-School.pdf\">Medical Admissions Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Medical School Interviews<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Timeline-for-Application-Admission-to-Medical-School.pdf\">Questions to Ask During an Interview<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/applying-medical-school\/medical-school-interview-dos-and-don-ts\">Medical School Interview Dos and Don&#8217;ts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Medical Career Paths<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/medical-careers\/what-can-i-do-my-degree\">What Can I Do With My Medical Degree?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Timeline-for-Application-Admission-to-Medical-School.pdf\">MD vs. DO Programs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/students-residents.aamc.org\/applying-md\/phd-programs\/applying-md-phd-programs-0\">Applying to MD-PhD Programs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pre-Medicine Studies &amp; Advising Students who plan to pursue a medical degree after graduation for a career in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, or podiatry should contact the School of Science, Math, and Education.
