This article here was just recently placed online. It is under discussion for medical schools to abolish the MCAT
The Question is should Podiatry schools consider doing the same. As it is now Podiatry schools are already admitting people that did not take the MCAT. Why not just going the final mile and just go ahead an abolish the test in total. The arguments presented in the link above could also apply to Podiatry School. Maybe it’s time for Podiatry Schools to be in the lead on this.
How about abolish podiatry school for mcat
OH ELLIOT: You and that USELESS board of medicine. He says we should ask patients if they had a colonoscopy or bone density or if they had immunizations so we can look and act “just like” primary medical doctors”? Why?

They take the SAME ENTRANCE EXAM DOCTORS TAKE. Of course the diff. is that your RESULTS DIDN’T MATTER AS MUCH IN PODIATRY SCHOOL ACCEPTANCE. It was for SHOW.

Its not the MCAT score that is important for Podiatry school. What you need is a pulse and blood pressure and the ability to qualify for a student loan……. you are in ! DONT TELL ME THE RUSSIANS THAT WERE IN MY CLASS AND BARELY COULD SPEAK ENGLISH PASSED THE MCATs? the second question is ..how did they pass Pod school with out english…….has anyone ever wondered? My room mate in POD school was a geography major and took the science courses he needed at Suffolk Community college….now hes a lower extremity reconstructive surgeon.
Only in America -Alan. Thx
