What are the MCAT eligibility criteria for international students?

All international applicants need to register for MCAT only for the health professional institutes as already mentioned before like any other domestic students. The aspirants will have to provide a statement verifying their intention to apply to a health professions school. It is only after receiving the same, the candidates would be considered eligible for MCAT 2018.

A candidate has to obtain special permission from the officials to register for the MCAT 2018 exam if he/she is not applying to a health professions school, or currently, enrolled as a medical student other than MBBS degree.

As per the MCAT eligibility criteria 2018, if an aspirant holds an MBBS degree or currently pursuing an MBBS programme he/she will be eligible to undergo the registration process of MCAT 2018 without seeking any special permission from the AAMC.

AAMC, the conducting authority of MCAT 2018, will not accept international academic transcripts. Students need to submit the required academic scores separately to the medical institute they are applying to.

International students have to complete at least a four years undergraduate degree for admission to medical colleges in the USA.

For special permission, candidates can send an e-mail request to AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges), stating the reasons to take the exam.

Hey there!

MCAT is an entrance exam accepted for various MD courses by American and Canadian universities after earning a bachelors degree. You cannot study medicine right after completing standard 12, unlinke India. Studying medicine in Russia and Ukraine is similar to that of India, except it takes 6 years to complete rather than 4 years, as is the case in India. Moreover, you get a MBBS degree in both India, Ukraine and Russia. You, however, need to qualify NEET in order to be eligible for studying medicine in Russia and Ukraine. Also, there is no entrance test taken in these countries.

Hence the highest MCAT pass percentage is in USA and Canada itself (the countries accepting MCAT).

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hey ravi!

Also as you have mentioned NMAT phillipines , then it is National medical admission test for phillipines , which is for MBBS and there is no relation between the syllabus of  MBBS entrance exam and MBA entrance exam. So , i have given you answer on the basis of NMAT which is for admission in MBA in NMIMS.

Hey Dimple!

You can give the MCAT test, whilst doing the course, however, for applying for MD programs, other than the course you are currently enrolled in, in USA you will have to produce your undergraduate degree. So, make sure to check the terms and conditions of the program you are currently enrolled in (check whether you can switch after completing your UG or do you have to stick through during the entire duration of the program; if at all you plan to change or switch).
