What are the minimum requirements for applying to Dalhousie Medical School?
The minimum application requirements are summarized in the university calendar. Applicants need to have an undergraduate degree in any discipline and usually a four year degree. As well, maritime applicants need a minimum grade point average of 3.3 in each of two consecutive years with a full course load prior to applying. There are no prerequisite courses. All applicants must take the Medical College Admissions Test and must achieve a minimum total score of 24. Norrmally this would be a minimum of 8 in each of the three numerical categories but one minimum of 7 is allowed as long as the total is 24 or greater. For non-Maritime applicants the minimum grade point average is 3.7 and the minimum MCAT is 30; one minimum score of 9 is permitted as long as the total score is 30 or greater.
