I keep reading that information such as school specific admission requirements and acceptability of online courses are posted online but after purchasing access I am unable to find this info... Any guidance please??

If I'm not mistaken, the MSAR doesn't have that information. I believe each school handles it differently. I think it would be better to email the schools you're interested in and ask them that way. They are usually pretty quick at responding to these questions.

"selection factors" tab on the left has online/CC courses accepted

the next tab down has other information specific to the institution

Errr I hope I didn't purchase the wrong thing. It says on their site: "To find school-specific requirements for each U.S. and Canadian medical school, see the MSAR Online. "

And this previous posting made it seem as though online course acceptability was available there too: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/msar-online.987686/

Thanks Mt Kilimanjaro... I see the online course info now. I guess I was just expecting more specific info for requirements though - such as which courses they want and if that have a time limit for prereqs (ie expire after 10 years). Especially since some schools have this on their own websites... Would have been nice to have in here for all

NEver heard of a time limit. Some of my classes are 10 years old and no one mentioned it.

They can't be specific since they're dealing with people from hundreds of institutions.

I saw Cornell had a 10 yr limit: http://weill.cornell.edu/education/admissions/app_req.html

And NYU: http://school.med.nyu.edu/md-admissions/how-apply/admissions-requirements-selection-criteria

And a few other schools... But would like to find this information for more institutions. Guess I'll just be calling them

Thanks again!

I have a question about the GPAs in the MSAR...for the 10th and 90th percentile numbers for accepted students, are those for students who are accepted outright, or does that also include students who were waitlisted, and then accepted?

I believe it's for the students who matriculated to that specific school.
