Sjsm Does Not Require
Mcat
At Saint James School of Medicine (SJSM), we believe that admissions is a holistic process. In fact, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) provides recommendations on how MCAT scores should be used in admissions, specifically recommending that MCAT scores should not outweigh an applicant’s other materials. Based on these facts, SJSM looks at the entire application of the student.
Success Stories
Our students and alumni say it best. Success of our school is attributed to the amazing students who have overcome many obstacles and adversity to become successful physicians. Check out some of their stories.
Diversity in SJSM
At Saint James, we understand and encourage diversity. It’s part of what makes us special.
We offer opportunities to Caribbean medical school students from the U.S. and Canada who come from many cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We also encourage older students to apply; age can make it more difficult to gain admittance to American and Canadian schools.
Our professors also come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, allowing students to immerse themselves in the same multicultural professional relationships they will encounter in the future.
