· Some, but not all, programs require
students to take the MCAT prior to finalizing
their acceptance into medical
school.
· Each program has its requirements and
these should be carefully evaluated before
a commitment is made.
· Being in an integrated program early on
may facilitate a student's adjustment to
medical school as well as reduce the stress
generated by the regular application
program.
· Being enrolled in an integrated
program, however, commits you, possibly prema-
turely, to a medical career.
· If you are not accepted into the
medical school phase of the integrated program,
you still have an option of applying to any
number of these schools like any regu-
lar applicant.
