Please note that these are general requirements and that medical schools may have differing or additional requirements.  It is the responsibility of the applicant to check the admissions requirements of each medical school prior to applying.  The only reliable information sources for these requirements are 1) the Medical School Admissions Requirements (MSAR) or 2) the websites of individual medical schools.
