Entrance Exams

Most health professions schools each have their own universally required entrance test:

MCAT Medical College Admissions Test

DAT Dental Aptitude Test

VCAT Veterinary College Admissions Test

OAT Optometry Admissions Test

PCAT Pharmacy College Admissions Test

Each of the tests is administered several times during the academic year. Generally, it is suggested that students take the appropriate test late in the spring of their junior year. It is especially important to have completed the required science courses prior to taking the test. The Career Advancement Center maintains a relationship with test preparation services.
