It's my first time applying also. I've met several people who went through the program and their stats varied. I think it's all depends on what they're looking for in a particular class. I heard some people have master's degrees prior to applying while others don't. It's all over the place and everyone has different academic backgrounds. I called sometime last year and they said the average GPA was around a 3.0 and the average MCAT was an 8 in each section. But she also informed me that just because you think you fall short of a specific stat, you're still encouraged to apply. It's nerve racking! I would be ecstatic with the opportunity for an interview.
