Hello,

Is it true that you need a 3.95 GPA and a 45 Z to get into medical school. I heard that if you don't have these stats you will be put into a seperate pile and you most likely won't get in, is this true?


Thanks!

NO.

If anybody told you that, they were probably messing with your head. If that was the case, a lot of us wouldn't even be applying (I'm not even close to that 3.95 and probably not the 45Z, lol).
I know a WHITE MIDDLE-CLASS person who got in with a decent (not 4.0) gpa, and a 24 MCAT. So, you never know. And she's not the only one. Go to mdapplicants.com and search through profiles, many people get in without stellar scores.

good one
 
On a troll scale from 1-10, you get a 3. If it weren't for the serious responses, you would have gotten a 1.

Yes, but, really, if you don't have those scores you're just a *****.

Plus you'll make a horrible doctor.


I think I have all the standard bases covered there.
