Hello all:
I have been doing a lot of research into getting into med school, allo- and osteo. So my question is, working with a given that one does a pretty good interview, and a nice personal statement, and some health experiences/goody-goods to share, blah blah blah....WHAT could everyone agree on is a GPA and an MCAT score that would get one into a majority of the medical schools in the country (ignoring exclusive schools like Hopkins and Harvard, and also ignoring residency...)??? What does everyone think? The reason I ask is i see the median in some of the books that I have of all of the schools in the US, but then i heard on here about one guy who had like a GPA of 3.8 and great MCAT scores, and *HE* was having trouble...I just need some guidance to assess myself and my oppurtunities...Remember, what's the basic GPA and the basic MCAT that would most assuredly get on into a) allo, and b) osteo...all other things I mentioned above being equal...??? Thanks...(we'll see how many of you respond to that...)
