A study by Kaplan (not the most unbiased of observers), sent a surveys to every allopathic medical school's admissions committee school each year from about 2005 to 2010 (I am not sure if they stopped the project). Of the 120 medical schools or so, about 80 would respond. Of those schools that responded, about 75% reported that GPA was either the first or second factor considered in admissions and about 75% similarly reported MCAT was either the first or second factor considered.

So yeah, MCAT is a big deal
