No matter how the medical school admissions landscape has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant: GPA and MCAT score 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.

Without further ado, here is the complete list of U.S. medical schools, including the average GPA and average MCAT scores by school.

(Note: Students often observe discrepancies between the data below and those reported on MSAR. These discrepancies are largely attributable to the fact that medical school websites often report different stats than MSAR, including:

• Whereas MSAR reports median GPA and MCAT, many schools report mean GPA and MCAT.
• Schools typically report data on students entering the first-year class (i.e., matriculating students), but the default MSAR setting is “all accepted applicants.”
• MSAR is published in the Spring of each year. On the other hand, medical schools may update their website with average GPA and average MCAT data at any time. This may lead to MSAR and medical schools reporting data on different classes.)
