Medical College Admission Test The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized test administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to prospective medical students as a means to standardise comparison between them for purposes of admission to medical school. The exam is currently taken entirely on paper. However, a computer-based version will be offered at select testing sites in the fall of 2005, and all future administrations of the exam starting in the spring of 2006 are expected to be computer-based.
Pharmacy College Admission Test The Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) is a standardized test given to prospective pharmacy school students. The test is divided into five sections, together to be taken in 3 hours, 30 minutes. These sections include: Verbal, Quantitative, Biology, Chemistry, and reading. As with the MCAT, calculators are not allowed so basic arithmetic skills should be reviewed.

College Admissions College admissions is the process through which students enter undergraduate colleges in the United States. Students apply to one or more colleges by submitting a dossier which each college evaluates by its own criteria. The college then decides whether to extend an offer of admission (and possibly financial aid) to the student. The process is entirely decentralized.
College Admissions And Ranking Shorthands In The United States In the United States, high-school college admissions counselors and in college admissions guides use various shorthands to refer to particular select groups of universities, which they regard as having the highest admission standards and greatest prestige of all U.S. universities, setting them apart from all others. There is disagreement as to which universities are considered to be part of the group, although most people agree that the group includes at least Harvard University, Yale University, and Princeton University, three of the oldest universities in the United States.
