Converse Pre-Med students gain a solid foundation in our liberal arts-based curriculum for their first step toward medical school.
Each medical school determines its specific requirements for admissions. These requirements can be found in the Medical School 招生 Requirements (MSAR) guide published by the Association of American Medical Colleges.
