About Medical Schools The minimum educational requirement for entry into a medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor’s degree. There are 146 medical schools in the United States,126 teach allopathic medicine and award a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree; 20 teach osteopathic medicine and award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. Acceptance to medical school is highly competitive. Applicants must submit transcripts, scores from the Medical College Admission Test, and letters of recommendation. Medical schools also consider an applicant’s character, personality, leadership qualities, and participation in extracurricular activities. Most medical schools require an interview with members of the admissions committee. Health Related Websites
