From Graduate Catalogue for Faculty of Medicine http://www.aub.edu.lb/registrar/Documents/catalogue/graduate15-16/fm-aubmc.pdf

Program Outline Admission The Faculty of Medicine was established to give properly qualified candidates, particularly from

Lebanon and the Near East, the opportunity for sound education in both the art and science of

medicine. All applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree and must have completed the premedical

requirements as well as the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Applicants

In their senior year expecting to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in June are eligible to apply

provided they have completed the premedical requirements and have taken the MCAT by the end of

the first semester of their senior year. For applicants holding (or expecting) a Bachelors degree,

consideration for acceptance is limited to students with a minimum cumulative general average of 75

percent in each of the following: 1) all courses, 2) the required premedical core courses, and 3) the

major courses. For applicants from North American colleges, a minimum

GPA of 3.2 is required. Applications from individuals holding (or expecting by June of the same year)

a Master or a doctoral degree are encouraged. These applicants will be considered based upon their

academic performance and their research productivity; in these cases, some of the premedical

requirements may be waived depending on the field of study.

Interviews are granted to a selected group of applicants based on their MCAT scores and their

academic achievement. Granting an interview does not necessarily imply that the applicant will be

accepted. Students are accepted to medical school on the basis of their academic qualifications, their

MCAT score, and the results of their interviews. In addition, due consideration is given to the

applicants’ letters of recommendation from their teachers and mentors, their curriculum vitae, as well

as their personal statements. Among the traits that the successful applicant will demonstrate are

humanistic and ethical attitudes, good communication and interpersonal skills, emotional maturity and

personal integrity. Previous experience in research, community service and volunteer work are

considered positive attributes. The Faculty of Medicine at AUB does not discriminate on the basis of

age, gender, nationality, ethnic origin or religion.

The minimal premedical requirements are summarized below:

A bachelor’s degree in any field of study. Historically, the vast majority of applicants to the Faculty

of Medicine have been holders of bachelor degrees in biology or chemistry. In an effort to diversify

the pool of applicants, graduates from other majors are strongly encouraged to apply as long as they

complete the premedical core courses required for admission to the Faculty of Medicine. Students can

take some of the premedical courses as electives in their respective majors. Premedical core course

requirements. The minimal premedical requirements include biology with laboratory (7 credits),

chemistry with laboratory (15 credits including 8 credits of organic chemistry), physics and basic

electronics with laboratory (8 credits), English (6 credits at AUB or exemption), social sciences and/or

the humanities (6 credits). To facilitate applications by non-science majors and from diverse fields of

study, some courses taken in the

Lebanese Baccalaureate Program may count towards fulfillment of the premedical core course

404 Faculty of Medicine and Medical Center (FM/AUBMC)

http://www.aub.edu.lb/registrar/Documents/catalogue/graduate15-16/fm-aubmc.pdf

Graduate Catalogue 2015–16 requirements as detailed in Table 1. Table 2 presents the

recommended courses depending on the major of study at AUB.

MCAT. A competitive score in the MCAT, which may be taken twice only, is required. If taken twice,

the higher score is considered. The MCAT score must be available at the time the application is

submitted. Starting in 2015, a new MCAT will be implemented which contains, in addition to the

biological and physical sciences, a whole new section on the social and behavioral sciences. Students

are encouraged to review the content of the new MCAT and plan their studies accordingly, e.g., by

taking additional courses in psychology, sociology and anthropology, and in biology, chemistry and

physics, after consultation with their advisors

Applicants expecting to receive a Bachelor degree after the deadline for application should be aware of

the following:

Applicants must be in their senior year.

The cumulative average of 70 credits or more (at the time of application) should be equal to or

higher than 75 percent for students from AUB, or its equivalent for those from other

universities. All required core courses must have been completed by the end of the fall

semester of the senior year with an average of at least 75 percent or its equivalent. The

cumulative average in the major courses completed by the end of the fall semester of the senior

year must also be equal to or greater than 75 percent.

Admission to medical school is contingent upon completion of graduation requirements and

obtaining the Bachelor degree, which should be achieved by the end of the spring semester of

the students’ senior year.

Applicants expecting to receive a Master or doctoral degree after the deadline for application should

be aware of the following:

o A minimum cumulative grade average of 80 percent or its equivalent is required.

o Admission to medical school is contingent upon completion of graduation requirements and

obtaining the Master or doctoral degree, which should be achieved by the end of the spring

semester.

Conditional acceptance to the faculty is issued by the middle of April of the senior year and is

finalized upon completion of the requirements for the Bachelor, Master or doctoral degree.
