The basic entrance requirements are not exactly the same for all medical schools. Most medical schools require completion of a bachelor's degree with a grade-point average of 3.50 or above, computed separately for science and nonscience courses. The following courses are normally required by Loma Linda University:

BIOL 141, BIOL 142, BIOL 143, CHEM 141, CHEM 142, CHEM 143, CHEM 144, CHEM 145, CHEM 146: AP and CLEP credits do not meet Loma Linda University requirements for General Chemistry or General Biology.

Also recommended are:

BIOL 381	Cell Biology I: Structure and Bioenergetics	4
BIOL 382	Cell Biology II: Genetics and Molecular Biology	4
BIOL 383	Cell Biology III: Genomics and Regulation	4
BIOL 464	Animal Physiology	4
MATH 106	Introduction to Statistics	4
MATH 181	Calculus I	4

If applying to a medical school other than Loma Linda University, the student should refer to the bulletin of that institution for specific entrance requirements.
