Pre-Med Premium Track

Getting into medical school is not easy.  The admissions requirements are daunting:  high GPA, high MCAT scores, an impressive personal statement, research experience, clinical experience, community service, good recommendations and a strong interview.

It helps to have some expert guides to help with the process.

St. Scholastica has long been a high performer in the pre-medicine field, successfully sending many of our graduates to medical schools around the country. That success is no accident. The combination of our strong and varied portfolio of offerings in pre-med coursework, as well as our highly personalized approach to teaching and advising, makes us a great choice for pre-med students. This premium track will allow us to take our service and expectation for serious pre-med students to the next level.
