No matter how the medical school admissions landscape has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant: GPA and MCAT scores are the foundation of every application. And regardless of how many medical schools point to their holistic admissions process, the trend of ever-increasing stats among matriculating students shows no signs of slowing down.
In other words, while your written materials, such as your medical school personal statement, AMCAS Work and Activities section, letters of recommendation, and secondaries are incredibly important for getting into med school, they cannot overcome low stats.
The question of where to apply to medical school to maximize your odds of admission can only be reliably answered if you're aware of each school's matriculating students’ average MCAT and GPA. So, if you’re wondering whether your stats are “good enough” for a given school or you simply want to know—statistically speaking—the easiest medical schools to get into, you need to know the numbers.
Because the process of finding this information can be incredibly tedious, we decided to do the heavy lifting for you. Specifically, we visited every U.S. medical school's admissions website to find the average GPA, average MCAT score, and (when reported) minimum MCAT score to help ensure that your application efforts are not wasted on schools where you're unlikely to be competitive.
We update this information routinely, but if you notice a discrepancy between what is listed on this page and a medical school’s website, please email contact@shemmassianconsulting.com so we can look into it and make any necessary changes.
