MSAR: Getting Started is a publication designed to help you prepare for and apply to medical school. Medical School Admission Requirements, or MSAR, contains chapters on deciding if a career in medicine is right for you, how to prepare for medical school during your undergraduate years, and an overview of what is learned in medical education and MD/PhD programs. MSAR also provides details about the MCAT exam and AMCAS application, how to choose the right school, how to apply, how admissions decisions are made, information about diversity in medical schools, financing, applicant and matriculant data, and more. Please note: MSAR: Getting Started does not include individual medical school or program profiles. Comprehensive medical school and BS/MD program profiles are only available in the MSAR Online.
