Medical School Admission Test (MCAT)

MCAT Requirements for Medical School

To meet medical school admission requirements, Ross Med requires that all U.S. applicants* take the Medical College Admissions Test^® (MCAT^®). Canadian and international applicants are not required to submit MCAT scores, but are strongly encouraged to do so.

At the same time, Ross Med does not have a minimum required MCAT score for our applicants. Instead, your application will be considered holistically—meaning your MCAT score will be weighed alongside other factors.

You may apply to Ross Med before sitting for the MCAT but will need to submit your MCAT scores prior to your admission interview.

Use our Online MCAT Guide to learn more about the MCAT and find upcoming test dates.

You’re always welcome to reach out to our Admissions Office to discuss your personal situation and get a better idea of your potential candidacy as a Ross Med student. You can also take our Admissions Assessment to learn more about the strength of your candidacy at Ross Med.

*Ross Med requires MCAT scores submitted by all U.S. Citizens, nationals, or eligible permanent resident applicants prior to the interview.

English Proficiency

English: Two semesters (six semester hours). Canadian students may satisfy the English requirements in 3 possible ways: (1) Two semesters of University humanities where essays composed at least 40% of the overall mark, (2) International Baccalaureate English and (3) Advanced Placement English.
