And there continues to be the test that we took back then: the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test).
And thanks for your kind words.
I was referring to the mid-fifties. (or late 40s, since my info came from my parents). You can’t imagine how many (otherwise) qualified people by-passed the medical program because of the requirement that they be proficient in Greek, Latin, or German. Certainly my French background kept me from even considering it.
I wonder if those pre-requisites were dropped because of Viet Nam? Many requirements were reduced during the 60’s just to keep the best and the brightest in school.
Congratulations!
