Admission Requirements

American Canadian School of Medicine (ACSOM) admission requirements are similar to medical schools in the U.S. and Canada, per Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) guidelines. The Admissions Committee evaluates applicants in a comprehensive manner to consider not only GPA and test scores, but also motivation, maturity, volunteer service, leadership ability, and knowledge of the medical field. This well-rounded evaluation ensures prospective students have the ability to excel at ACSOM.

Decision

The Faculty Admissions Committee holistically reviews each qualified application and makes all admissions decisions. An applicant can expect a response from the committee within 30 days of the interview.

Prerequisites

Bachelor’s
Degree

Bachelor’s degree is required. No requirement for a major as long as the required courses listed below have been taken.

Course Requirements

One year of biology consisting of general biology or higher (example of higher level biology includes a course in anatomy, physiology, combined anatomy and physiology, microbiology, genetics, molecular biology, etc.)

 

Two semesters of general chemistry

One semester of organic chemistry

One semester of algebra or biostatistics

One semester of physics

MCAT

The MCAT is required as part of your application to ACSOM. Please submit scores from all attempts. The faculty admissions committee evaluates all applicants holistically and your MCAT score(s) is one component of your overall candidacy for medical school.

 

(Note: The Faculty Admissions Committee will consider an MCAT waiver for healthcare professionals with extensive experience on a case-by-case basis.)

Fluency
In English

Fluency in English is fundamental to thriving in our academic community. Prospective students are expected to demonstrate a strong command of the English language, ensuring they can actively participate in discussions, comprehend complex texts, and articulate ideas effectively.

Successful Interview

Mastering the admissions interview is about more than showcasing your academic prowess. It’s an opportunity to share your personal journey, demonstrate your passion for your field of study, and reveal the unique perspective you bring. Here at ACSOM, we value the diversity and depth of experiences our students bring to our community. Shine authentically in your interview, and become a part of our legacy of excellence.

Record Of
Good Conduct

At our university, we prioritize fostering a safe and conducive learning environment for all students. To ensure the well-being and academic integrity of our community, a Record of Good Conduct is a prerequisite for admission. This helps us ensure that all incoming students align with our values and standards, promoting a harmonious campus culture.

Transfer Student

Transfer students are welcome to apply to ACSOM.

  • A transfer student is anyone currently enrolled at a medical school, or graduated from a medical school wishing to transfer to our program.
  • The transfer admissions process is competitive and subject to space availability.
  • Transfer students must meet all of the documentation requirements of a new applicant.
  • Students who wish to transfer for the first year must apply as new students for the first year of study. Official and current transcript(s) from medical school(s) attended must be provided, in addition to a Dean’s Letter and USMLE Step 1 or MCCQE Step 1 scores (if applicable).
  • Students wishing to transfer directly to the Clinical Rotation program will need to have passed the United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE) Step 1 or the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) from the first attempt.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
