Medical School Admission – No Entrance Exam
Most medical and dental programmes determine admission on an entrance exam, often sometimes paired with a face to face interview. There are however, a number of highly ranked programmes that don’t use this system and determine admission on an online interview or by assessing your paperwork. Here we summarise the programmes that have no entrance exam:
