Common Misconceptions About Medical School Admissions
UNC Chapel Hill physician Dr. William R. Straughn Jr. answers common myths about medical school admissions. Most schools do not require a fixed B average or pass/fail MCAT, though strong grades and high MCAT scores help. Financial aid exists, and premed majors vary. language choice and college attended matter less than overall excellence and a strong science background. Females are admitted at similar rates to males, with no explicit gender or race preference. The UNC program plans to grow class size to 100 by 1970 with diverse, capable applicants.
