There is a PDF called the Osteopathic College Information Book (CIB) and that's as close as it gets but it's not as detailed as the MSAR. At least it's free, though! You can probably do a board search to find it. I just tried to upload it and it said it was too big to load.

Here's the link in case the OP couldn't find it. The individual college information includes prerequisites but not MCAT/GPA averages for each school. It only the shows MCAT/GPA averages for all osteopathic matriculants.
Maybe you could make some money by publishing an osteopathic equivalent of the MSAR! I am willing to bet that some premeds would pay good money for it.

Honestly, as much as I think user3's numbers are close to accurate (not sure if I buy Touro NY because 1/4 of their class comes from the MS program that had a bunch of kids with MCATs in the 19-24 range - maybe if you count only those accepted not from the MS program), you're not going to find concrete or exact numbers with a quality source. Schools don't always publish them, and they rarely publish them yearly. If they were expected to like MD schools, it would be a different story, but they aren't. Because of that, schools will have class averages that are years old, class averages based on acceptance numbers, not matriculant numbers, etc.
OK, you know what, I'll just do this real quick. I'll do the best I can with these sources, but be aware some may be outdated, and since none are verified by a 3rd party, take them for what you will:

Yeah, I found some of those, but from different pages. This is the real problem with the lack of 3rd party verification, standardization, etc. Best we can do is estimate or take the schools at their words without knowing whether the numbers are out of date or how they're calculated. It also doesn't help when the schools post different numbers themselves. I'm sure its just different classes and not updating things in a standard way, but seriously...
Let me know if you have any of the ones I'm missing (TUNCOM, PCOM-GA, CUSOM, ACOM, WCU, & LMU).

Nice of them to randomly throw that in. We'll see if they'll commit to it by actually including it in the class profile like they do for the Class of 2017.

Not an MSAR but it has stats and interviewing resources. Some of the stats aren't up to date.
Click on the school you like, go to "Interview Feedback" and at the bottom you can see questions that previous applicants have gotten.
Hope this helps for those who are still interviewing!

For KCU the 29 avg MCAT is the accepted students average. The matriculating class avg MCAT was 27.9.
Thanks for the helpful info!
@user3 (or anyone else), do you know if this info is based on aacomas calculation of GPAs (ie with grade replacement policies)? My cgpa and sgpa are around the averages of some of these schools IF i consider grade replacement, but my gpa is much below most of the averages if I don't consider grade replacement (where only my last grade attempt is factored into the GPA and previous attempts are not).
Thanks! I just want to make sure I'm near the average GPA before I apply this coming cycle.
