Admissions Requirements
Massachusetts residency is a requirement. Prerequisites are one year each of Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, and English. All science courses should include associated labs. The MCAT is required, and scores should be from within the past two years. For applicants who have taken the exam on multiple occasions, the best scores are weighed most heavily. Thus, withholding scores is not advantageous.
