Allopathic Med Schools that pre-screen?

[wut?]

Hi everyone, I've looked at alot of threads made by students with a low science and/or cumulative GPA and a term that I see very often is "pre-screen".
Since there are medical schools that pre screen for low gpa's or MCATs, could anyone name some specifically? Thanks!

Go to their admissions websites and do some detective work. This is a useful skill.

You trying to get on that probation time my friend?

Define "pre-screen." I would imagine that pretty much all of them have GPAs/MCATs below which they won't consider applicants.

I was a LOT harsher for my transgression.

But as an aside, it's appalling how many people can't be bothered to simply go look at a med school's website. I suspect people simply copy down names from USN&WR and make their list from that.

And yes, I know that there are > 150 med school sin the US...but really, if one is going to spend 4 years of one's life at a place, and > $250K, don't you think it's good idea to do some minimal research?

According to @Lawper you shouldn't apply to any low-tier schools with a MCAT over 505.

Lol you must be at least 50 years old with your blunt nature. Or from NY. Is your repented transgression deleted?

According to @Lawper you shouldn't apply to any low-tier schools with a MCAT over 520.

Yeah that's true and commonly suggested in WAMC threads.

Don't be rude to an old man.
Also I'm pretty sure Goro is not over 50, but he's definitely a New Yorker, I knew that within like, ten minutes of following him.

So what I said about lawper was a joke... the threshold where you may get yield-protected at low-tier schools is like 520. I would still apply though tbh... "low-tier" is a stupid term.

Applying to med school is like buy a drink for someone at a bar. You have to expect that some will walk away without ever talking to you.

That's why you don't buy people drinks at bars 😉

Correct me if I am wrong..but hasnt Jeff been gaining some ground as of late to move itself out of low-tier?

 

[ciestar]

Also, OP, VCU and Quinnipiac pre-screen.

I would still place it in Drexel/Temple class. There's a reason why I call them the Philly Triplets. But Temple gets more extramural funding for research!
