Seattle Mini Medical School (SMMS)
Seattle Mini Medical School (SMMS) is a blended learning college preparatory school approved by the Washington State Board of Education to provide a full grades 6–12 curriculum with a focus on STEM, Medicine, and Medical Mission. SMMS is designed for students who are serious about pursuing careers in healthcare or related professions.
SMMS provides students with early exposure to the basic sciences of medicine and essential clinical skills. Our medical mission offers hands-on clinical experiences that cultivate compassion and help students understand the true meaning of medicine and service.
Goals
Our goals are to give students the opportunity to graduate with STEM, Medicine, Biliteracy, and Career- and College-Readiness, preparing them for BA/MD and BS/MD joint-degree programs or admission to top 30 national universities.
BA/MD and BS/MD Admissions
BA/MD and BS/MD programs combine undergraduate and medical school degrees. Requirements vary by school, but general expectations include a GPA of 3.85–4.0, SAT scores of 1450–1550, and ACT scores of 30–34.
Top 30 National Universities Admissions
General requirements include a GPA of 3.85–4.0, SAT scores of 1400–1500, and ACT scores of 29–33.
Extracurricular Activities
Leadership is key. Was the student an officer, did they manage people, or organize events? Commitment shows consistent interest and effort over time, including summer activities aligned with school-year involvement. Record of excellence highlights quality over quantity. Excelling in two distinct areas is stronger than participating in many activities without distinction.
Sample activities include volunteering at hospitals with plans to reach 900 hours by senior year, volunteering 150 hours at a village hospital in India, interning with a radiologist in Chicago, or spending a summer in South Africa helping AIDS patients and conducting research with doctors.
Summer Service Camp / Medical Mission
Our medical mission provides clinical experiences that instill compassion and teach students the true meaning of medicine and service, helping them take their education to the next level.
