AP coursework

Science AP courses for which an applicant has received course credit at his or her undergraduate degree-granting institution will be considered as fulfilling the pre-medical science course requirements cited above. Applicants should keep in mind, however, that the Committee will expect to see advanced level undergraduate courses in the science disciplines for which the AP credit was awarded.

The equivalent of three years of college (135 quarter hours/90 semester hours) is the minimum required for entrance into the medical school. While a bachelor's degree is not required, it is expected. (Students who have been successful in the Feinberg application process have attained their bachelor's degree, at a minimum, prior to matriculation.) Students who are successful in the application process generally exceed the required and recommended coursework. The Committee on Admissions considers all coursework completed at the undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and graduate levels.
