Acceptance Statistics

[Azjoe]

Yesterday I was in the book store and saw several books on acceptance statistics. These books listed such things as average GPA, MCAT scores, and tuition cost. Does anyone know if there is a webpage that will list statistics such as these? Also if I was to purchase such a book which one would you guys recommend?

I downloaded this page from UPenn into a spreadsheet. The stats are from 1997 but still helpful as a guide to which schools accept out of state residents and which are the most competitive.

You can also buy the MSAR for $25. That is the official and most up to date source.

Also look in the "sticky" Everything you need to know about applying to med school for a couple of good spreadsheets.

Take a look at this as well:

as for tuition costs, secondary info etc, check the individual school websites first. I have one of those books (the complete medical school guide or some such thing) and it is not very helpful in those areas because they change from year to year (for ex. schools which were listed as "pre secondary screeners" in my book had changed the policy this year, presumably to make more money on secondaries)
good luck!
