Foreign Students Evaluation
Candidates who’ve already finished their course work or possess a bachelor’s degree or advanced degree from a higher education university outside the United States should have their grading sheets accredited by a qualification assessment service which is a part of the National Association of Credential Assessment Services for equivalence of U.S. degrees or coursework. Candidates who’ve already finished or graduated from a post-secondary university in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the UK will not necessarily have to have their college grading sheets checked and equivalent accredited. Any candidate trying to transfer points from a non-US university to an MSM program should have a course review of the applicable documents administered by a NACES member. Candidates are expected to have a wide background in education. MSM should receive the scores of the examination before the Admissions Committee can fully assess a candidate. Candidates are highly encouraged to take the exam in Spring starting with the year of admission to med school, so the result could be considered early and the exam can be undertaken again in the Fall if further increase in score is needed.Letters of Recommendation
Recommendation letters are necessary for all candidates. The letters are to be forwarded to AMCAS. Only if a committee referral or package of recommendations is issued by the pre-health professions counseling office at the candidate’s school, then this committee recommendation or package is required. There are no more recommendations. If the candidate’s school does not have a panel for recommendations, the university would allow a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 recommendation letters from people who know the candidate deeply. At least one of those suggestions needs to be from an instructor of science who trained the candidate. It is proposed that other sources for recommendation letters come from a doctor you worked with, an employer, your priest, or other clergy or a mentor in your interactions of volunteer services. The candidate would have access to a downloadable recommendation form during the completion process of a secondary application. Writers of recommendation letters may use this format or write a self-devised recommendation letter.Interview
