Academic Programs - Pre-Medical

Program Overview

The pre-medicine program at MacMurray College is a highly successful one, with a placement rate that is much higher than the national average. Nationwide, about 60% of applicants are accepted into medical school; but over the last ten years 100% of applicants from MacMurray have been accepted.
    
Faculty members in biology and chemistry work with Pre-Med students from the first semester of the freshman year. Students majoring in biology would follow the Health Track. Under the guidance of experienced teachers and advisors, students are better able to achieve good grades and prepare for the Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT. The academic advisor monitors academic progress and advises students on courses to take and strategies for applying to medical school.
    
Factors taken into account by medical school admissions committees include grade-point average, score on the MCAT and record of campus involvement. Generally, the successful medical school applicant has a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better, and no less than 3.5.
