Thought some might find this funny.

Found from St. James Official Website

Eligibility

Applicants from the United States and Canada:

Our MD program admission requirements for applicants from the USA and Canada are a Baccalaureate/Bachelor's degree or a total of 90 credit hours, which is approximately three years of undergraduate education, at an accredited college or university is required.
Preference will be given to applicants who have completed a Bachelor's degree or higher. If you have a low GPA score, you should have strong letters of recommendation and be able convince the admissions department that you hold a strong motivation to study medicine.

What is the world coming to.
 
DO schools ask you to take MCAT exam whereas MS/PhD programs ask GRE/GMAT (and TOEFL if you're an international student.) They're totally different exams.

It's really interesting that you compare apples with oranges, and tell that one of them is harder to eat than the other. :claps:

P.S.: And unfortunately, it's always been harder (and will be much harder as time passes) to get an acceptance from a US medical school, whether MD or DO.

I think you knew what I was trying to say and you're just picking on me. Of course I acknowledge that there are many Masters programs offered by top schools that are more difficult to get into than many medical schools. All I'm trying to say is that, at the undergraduate university I attended (Queen's), the grades (and other credentials) required are higher for getting into medical school compared to the grades required for getting into a related Masters program. And I'm sure this is the case for a lot of universities.
