Separate exam

Just a thought but do you guys believe podiatry schools having their own admissions exam (instead of the MCAT) would be beneficial overall. The reason I say this is because I feel it would remove the bottom of the barrel scores by having our own competitive exam even if it’s not as difficult as the MCAT (think PCAT, DAT, GRE and OAT). If scores can’t be translated across different exams it creates it own niche and it removes the ‘this is a back up’ mentality. Just rambling ideas but I wanted... Separate exam
