What are the schools that are most difficult to get into and schools that are easiest to get into compared to others? Higher GPA and MCAT vs lower GPA and MCAT schools. Osteopathic and Allopathic.

They're all hard to get into. You can't quantify it because it's not just stats, it's essays, interviews, letters, ECs, mission and fit, luck.

what's the point of asking this question?

If you're an instate resident of certain states, then it can be easier to get into their med schools as long as your stats and LORs are med-school worthy.

Id wager BCOM or CUSOM are probably the easiest DO schools to get into. For MD state of residence plays a huge part. Id say overall being a West Virginia resident applying to West Virginia med is the easiest

Hardest medical school to get into will be Ole Miss as long as you are part of the 99.5% or so of the US population not from MS. Extend this same idea to Brody, Mercer etc .

Easiest will your choice of Caribbean schools where a pulse and check book where you will pay 200k in debt for the right to have a white coat before getting kicked out.

Commonwealth of Scranton is pretty liberal from what I recall.

Any of the state schools where they take few/none OOS students and you're OOS.

If you're a girl and you're instate for Alabama (or have a tie), and you have decent stats, then getting into USA MD SOM isn't hard. It is male-heavy. In fact, they often inteview qualified girls right away and offer them acceptances usually within 24-72 hours.
