Application Requirements for the JABSOM MD Program
-
JABSOM subscribes to the philosophy that a physician should be broadly educated, able not
only to understand and manage the physical part of the human body but also the social,
cultural, and psychological components.
Therefore, applicants are encouraged to obtain a broad education in the humanities and in
the social and behavior sciences, in addition to satisfying the more specific basic science
requirements set forth below.
-
Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) must be taken within three years of the
anticipated year of matriculation to medical school. The latest MCAT scores screened
or re-screened in the application process are September of the year of application
(May for Early Decision). MCAT test scores from January 2010 to September 2012 (May 2012
for Early Decision) will only be considered for the 2013 entering class
application cycle.
