Can anyone attest to how accurate this website's school stats listings are?

I've been using this website's listing and stats as a general guide for which schools are in my realistic range for applying to. Has anyone else used it, and if so how accurate did you feel the stats were?

I think they are very accurate for GPA and MCAT.

That's a relief; I stupidly got my whole list of 20+ schools together without cross-checking other sources first. Thanks!

Wow, check out the listed stats for University of North Dakota. Average MCAT score = 27.4 and average GPA = 2.8 . That can't be right, can it?

I also just saw that when I click on Texas, that it is missing a listing for El Paso's Foster School of Medicine.

I believe some are slightly off but most do not deviate to a large degree. I think you should be fine with the list you made. One thing that you might want to check if applying to a large batch of schools is seeing which are friendly to out of state applicants and which heavily favor only in-state applicants.

Cross-referencing that site with this (it is a few years outdated, mind you), the MCAT score is accurate, but the GPA is quite off.

Oh, that's actually something I neglected to look into. Good call, thanks.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, whoops.

No problem. With the cost of applying to med schools in general, dropping $10 or $15 or whatever it costs these days to get the MSAR is almost insignificant and is a great source for all this info.

The MSAR is $22.

The MSAR is $22.

The MSAR is actually fairly difficult to navigate through. I think with some slight GUI changes it might actually be worth the money.

True. But I make sure that data I submit to the AAMC is accurate. This website was not.
