In addition, the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) may also be considered in lieu of GRE scores at the discretion of the department.Bachelor's degree with 24 hours, 12 of which are advanced, in life science or appropriate related science is required for programs in either Biology or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
