Best Answer

The American Association of Medical Colleges, which is an association of most of the colleges of allopathic medicine. This organization is separate from the AACOM, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, which is an association of most of the colleges of osteopathic medicine. Both organizations are the only two national medical college associations in the United States.

Do virus have a cell wall?

Answer... NO According to the KAPLAN's explanation of AAMC MCAT practice test CBT 4, viruses can have cell walls (question B). Either they are wrong, or the rigid coating of a virus is called a cell wall though the virus itself is not considered a "cell." I will look for another source on this, but the common sense answer may not be correct here... I suppose this is just a grievous error on the AAMC MCAT. Viruses do have a protein coat similar to a cell wall, but obviously it is not called a cell wall.


Where can I find a list of accredited online colleges?

Try the AAMC website. "The AAMC represents the 125 accredited M.D.-granting U.S. medical schools and the 17 accredited Canadian medical schools." Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. American Medical Association - Medical School resources.


A good MCAT score?

A 10 or better in all three sections. A composite score of 30 is competitive. More balanced scores are better than "lop-sided." E.g. 10, 10,10 is better than 13, 13, 4. If you just need a content review and not a formal class, I would recommend taking a look at http://www.FreeMCATPrep.com - they have an outline that is modeled after AAMC's (the testmaker) topic lists. Also, they have a bunch of practice questions so you can gauge where you are (and it's 100% free, unlike those other expensive companies). Good luck with your preparation!

What is the cost of medical school for a pediatircian?

The same cost as it is for every other doctor. You don't become a pediatrician until after medical school when you do your residency. All of your classes are the same as your fellowed MD students, except you may be able to gear some electives and rotations more towards your field of interest. But if you go to the statistics (try AAMC or the school website), that tuition price is for every medical student. The cost also depends on whether you're going to an in-state public school (cheaper) or an out-of-state public or private school. The average MD students comes out with a debt of around 150K (school + cost of living), but private schools + cost of living can leave people in up to 240K of debt.


How difficult is the MCAT for Med School?

Not too difficult if you retained all the information you learned from your science/math courses. The questions aren't too specific, but it will require you understand general concepts in each discipline. Basically, you should take a diagnostic MCAT and record your score. On the average, there is a 10 point increase from your diagnostic score after a 3-4 month preparation/practice. (unless you scored really low on your diagnostic i.e >20, in which case, you will get a higher increase) If you just need a content review and not a formal class, I would recommend taking a look at http://www.FreeMCATPrep.com - they have an outline that is modeled after AAMC's (the testmaker) topic lists. Also, they have a bunch of practice questions so you can gauge where you are (and it's 100% free, unlike those other expensive companies). Good luck with your preparation!


If you are bad at mathematics is there any hope of studying medicine at a university in the UK?

North American medical school admission usually only look at your cumulative GPA, your MCAT score, whether you have (a small set of) prerequisite courses (usually not including any math like calculus or linear algebra but sometimes including statistics), and your related activities and statement (most important since everyone else would have completed the prerequisite courses with high GPA (>3.8) and MCAT scores). For more precise information you need to contact the medical schools of your choice to see whether include math in their list of prerequisites or get the book about medical school admissions from the AAMC. Yes you have much hope! You can approve your work at Math and anyway they don't look mostly at your math skills! They normally take a look at your cumulative GPA or MCAT score. Besides that point have hope and anything is possible!
