Short answer: MCAT requirements vary by school and change between intakes. We do not publish per-school MCAT cutoffs we cannot source. Check each school's current admissions page and the registry for the note we recorded, then confirm with the school directly.

Why we don't publish specific MCAT cutoffs
Caribbean medical school admissions policies — including MCAT requirements, minimum scores, and whether the MCAT is required at all — change frequently. Publishing a specific score without a dated primary source would spread misinformation.
Our schema requires a costSourceUrl for tuition figures and enforces the same honesty principle for admissions notes: we record what we can source, and we say "verify on official admissions page" when we cannot.
What varies between schools
| Factor | Varies how | |---|---| | MCAT required at all | Some schools do not require it (verify per school) | | Minimum composite score | Differs by program and cohort | | Minimum section scores | Some schools set section minimums separately | | Score age / validity | Varies — some schools accept scores up to 5 years old | | Conditional vs required | Some accept applicants conditionally without MCAT | | Policy by intake | January, April, August cohorts may differ |

Big-4 MCAT policy notes (check official pages for current requirements)
This registry records an mcatNotes field when we have a sourced note. All four Big-4 schools currently say "verify on the official admissions page" in our records — because admissions policies change and we will not invent specific numbers. Visit each profile and click through to the official site:
- St. George's University admissions → sgu.edu
- Ross University admissions → medical.rossu.edu
- AUC School of Medicine admissions → aucmed.edu

Is the MCAT required for Caribbean schools?
Some Caribbean programs have historically not required the MCAT, or have accepted students who scored lower than U.S. allopathic programs typically require. This is one reason applicants consider Caribbean programs — but it is not the only factor, and it does not remove the challenge of USMLE Steps, clinical rotations, and the residency match later.
What the MCAT tests vs what medical school requires
The MCAT tests scientific knowledge and reasoning as a predictor of early medical school performance. It does not test clinical skills, persistence through long program timelines, or residency match competitiveness — which are all relevant for Caribbean school decisions. Consider the full picture alongside accreditation and pathway eligibility.
