Admissions calculator thingy?

[samurai_lincoln]

I am getting tired and cranky, and can't find this med school admissions likelihood calculator I came across the other day. You just plug in residency, gpa and mcat variables and it generates sort of a reach/match/safety list. I know I have it bookmarked at work, but evidently not at home. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks for any help.

Cheesy, and probably not very accurate, but it does give an idea of gpa vs. mcat weight at different schools.

Yeah, I think these things work much better for law school because med school admissions are not based as much on numbers, but you're right, it's a useful tool to look at stats.

That's funny. "See the effects of a Kaplan course" and suddenly, magically, the numbers jump by 2 points in each area. Since the formula is pure numbers, suddenly you're very competitive

I wish I could pay the prep course money and just get the 2 points like that

This one has a lot more schools and is organized better.

I agree on the cheesiness and inaccuracy, however.

Only if you're fluent in Spanish, it's a requierment for admission.

It is a pic of Ron, very perceptive of you! The avatar to which the prior posters were referring was a pic of bouncing boobs, but the admins finally made me change it, ha ha.
