MCAT - Medical College Admissions Test
Medical schools take several factors into account when considering your application: your transcript, letters of recommendation, and of course, your Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) score. The MCAT is a standardized exam designed to measure your aptitude for a career in medicine. While the test provides medical schools with an objective measure of your scientific knowledge, it also gives insight into your critical thinking skills and problem-solving ability.
