Question

what was the first medical school to require degree for admission?

Answer 1

Ans) In the U.S., Medical degrees are considered second entry degrees, meaning you cannot enrol directly in a Bachelor's degree in Medicine.

- You need a Bachelor's (undergraduate) degree in order to apply to a Medical school. Then, you can enrol in a complete and progressive Medicine study degree that usually lasts four years.

• High School Diploma

• Minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0
Good TOEFL language scores
