Med school? A student asks if an AU Life Sciences or Health Sciences degree is valuable in applying for med school and if these degrees can lead to writing the MCAT or DAT.  Another student replies that a degree isn’t required to write the MCAT but is required for med school matriculation.  This student indicates that some schools may restrict the number of online courses allowed for an undergraduate, as in the case of U of S, which limits to 60 online credits.
