What is the minimum ACT score needed to go to college to become a pediatrician?

Answer 1

Med schools do not care what you get on the ACT - that is a test for high school kids. It only helps you get into a good college. If you get around 30 or better on ACT and your GPA is very good, then you can get into a good college which will prepare you for med school. You have to take the MCAT exam and do well, then if you have gotten good marks in your prerequisite courses for med school, you can get into med school when you finish your BS or BA college degree.

After you have completed four years of med school, then you spend 3 - 5 years specializing in pediatric medicine. So, when you are about 29 or 30 you will be a pediatrician.

Answer 2

Each school has its own ACT score requirements. Go to the websites for the schools you are interested in and find their admission requirements.

To become a pediatrician you will need to take the MCAT (medical college admissions test) before you apply to medical school. You do that in your junior or senior year of college. You should shoot for a 30 or higher (standards change so check again when you are ready to apply) on the MCAT and you will need to have good grades in college.

Good luck.

Answer 3

That depends on the college. Look at the sites of the schools where you would like to go.

Med schools rely heavily on the MCAT, which you take after you complete your pre-med program. An ACT score helps you get into Pre-med, although they look more at your college GPA up to then.
