-No letters should be attached to your applications.

-The letters should be written by a credible source, and can be from professors of your department or outside of your department.

Opting for P/NP grading will not impact your chances of being admitted to AUB's medical school, as long as the courses taken during the COVID 19 pandemic in which you opt for a grade of “P" do not constitute more than 20% of the course credits used to calculate your GPA in the following categories: core premedical courses, major courses, and all courses at the time of application. For core premedical courses, the 20% upward limit applies only to those you take during your undergraduate studies. Courses taken abroad through AUB's Office of International Programs (OIP), and those taken in the Lebanese Baccalaureate program that are equivalent to premedical courses and assigned a “P" do not enter into the calculation of the 20% limit. You can find this announcement here.

Every student can submit 2 or 3 letters of recommendation in the time of application to AUB Medical School. You can contact the professors directly for these letters, and they will submit them directly to AUB Medical School Admissions. Make sure to ask for letters weeks before the deadline because writing letters of recommendation takes time. 

When you submit the application for First Year Medicine, you will be able to access the FAID application on AUBsis (in the "Student Awards and Financial Aid" section) within 24 hours. You should indicate MED 1 on your application.

There will be no physical submissions of documents, everything should be uploaded online. 

There is no specific rate, the rate changes every year depending on the applicants. 

Volunteering and research boost your application and they are highly recommended.

No, passing or withdrawal do not affect your chances of being accepted.

AUB Medical School divides the percentages on requirements as follows:

• GPA: 50%

• MCAT: 35%

• Interview: 15%

N.B. Note that this division changed for the 2021 Admission Cycle. Any news announced by the AUB Med School will be communicated to you. 

There is no minimum GPA to apply to AUB Med-School. However, a student should have an average of at least 80 on Pre-Medical courses considered by AUB. (For students with letter grades, the minimum GPA of Pre-Medical courses will be decided later in the 2022 admissions cycle). 

-If the repeated course is one of the pre-medical courses and initially taken in the sophomore year, then the higher grade will be considered. 

-If it is a premedical course taken initially in junior year, then the average of the two grades will be taken.

-If it is not a pre-medical course and considered for the overall average, then the higher grade will be taken no matter the time in which the course was initially taken.

No, AUB Medical School considers your cumulative GPA which includes all the courses you’ve taken in your undergraduate years before applying to AUB Med School and not just your major courses.

No, it is not. The last semester considered by AUB Med-School is your Fall semester during your senior year.

No, all the courses you take during your semester abroad are considered as Pass/Fail only. Which means that these courses have no effect on your GPA.

You can sit the MCAT exam up to 3 times only before applying to AUB Medical School. Any additional sitting will not be considered. 

The last MCAT score considered for an admission cycle is that of January of the same year. Students usually take their MCAT in the summer of their Junior Year up to January of their Senior (or last) Year. 

It expires after 3 years from the date taken. 

There is none. A huge misconception is that a student must major in a science discipline to get into medical school. AUB Medical School requires science classes that you must take to apply to medical schools. These courses generally include biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Apart from these courses, you are not required to take any other specific classes. So, whether you major in biology, economics, history, engineering, or any other major, you can apply to medical school if you meet the requirements.

No, it doesn't. No Major gives an advantage over any other.

You have until Fall semester of your senior year to finish the pre-medical courses.

If you are a non-Biology Major: 

• If you were LS or equivalent in school, then only BIOL 201 is required to apply to Medical School. 

• If you were GS or equivalent in school, then you should take both BIOL 201 and BIOL 202 to apply to Medical School. 

The AUB Medical School Admissions Office classifies AUB students in a different pool than non-AUB students.

The minimum GPA for non- AUB graduates is 3.6, and the minimum MCAT score is 508.
