“The process of applying to medical school and securing admission is a tedious one that can be expensive,” said Brent Owens, Ed. D., NYITCOM at A-State director of pipeline programs and regional recruitment. “We’re excited to offer this program that will help make these students stronger candidates for medical school.”
Almost all U.S. medical schools, including NYITCOM, require applicants to submit MCAT exam scores. MCAT scores are reported in four sections: biological and biochemical foundations of living systems; chemical and physical foundations of biological systems; psychological, social, and biological foundations of behavior; and critical analysis and reasoning skills.
