I go to a top 20 undergrad which is known for grade deflation. Every year my school's medical advisory office releases acceptance rates into medical school from our college.
For applicants with x>3.3 GPA and x<27 MCAT, 6 applied, 3 were accepted, acceptance rate 50%
For applicants with x>3.3 GPA and 27<x<30 MCAT, 31 applied, 18 were accepted, acceptance rat 58%
For applicants with x>3.3 GPA and x>30 MCAT, 111 applied, 92 were accepted, acceptance rate was 83%.
From the info given there, you can calculate that 8 out of 14 (57%) of those between 3.3 and 3.4 get accepted.
This is all MD btw.
Doesn't this show that medical schools do care about school name? From what I've read here, any GPA below a 3.4 is pretty much killer for MD schools. But the info here says otherwise?
Thoughts?
