What is the MCAT?

The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a computer-based standardized examination for prospective medical students in the United States, Canada, as well as internationally such as the Caribbean Islands. It is designed to assess problem solving, critical thinking, written analysis and knowledge of scientific concepts and principles.

Why SJSM does not require MCAT?

At Saint James School of Medicine (SJSM), we believe that medical school admissions should be a holistic process. In fact, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) provides recommendations on how MCAT scores should be used in admissions; most notably recommending that MCAT scores should not outweigh an applicant’s other qualities. For this reason SJSM continues to be one of the Caribbean medical schools that doesn’t require and MCAT for admission into it’s program.

Other things we consider when accepting a student into our program:

  • Prior Education GPA;
  • Degrees Completed;
  • Coursework taken;
  • Letters of recommendation;
  • Work Experience;
  • Volunteer experience.

While an MCAT score is a welcome addition to the overall application, it is not a requirement.
