I have looked at stats for admissions in the MSAR, USNEWS, and the Princeton review site. They show varying statistics at some schools, was wondering which was the most accurate? I assume its the MSAR, but I am second guessing it.

The MSAR is from 2004. USNEWS is probably as accurate as the MSAR. Princeton is the least it seems.

The MSAR is official (however there can be some typos). The US News sometimes can get data from the year before (for example the current US News Medical School book has data from 2004, and the latest MSAR has data from 2005). I have no idea about Princeton Review, but I am guess that it might be even less accurate. Stick with the MSAR. Good luck.

Forgot to mention that the MSAR has a LOT more info this year than past years.

Go with MSAR. I think the USNEWS was from 2003, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yeah, but I'm guessing they're all very similar... I mean I don't think that adcom members are sitting around saying "Joe Schmoe's mcat score is 0.21 points from our mean!! Reject! Reject!!!"
