Osteopathic Schools Guide Listing GPA, MCAT, etc

[lblock209]

---

Members don't see this ad.

Are there no MSAR equivalents for DO schools? I already know of the CIB and have it downloaded, but I see nothing about each school's GPA, MCAT, OOS acceptance rate, etc for matriculated students.

Any way I can get this info so I know which schools I am and am not competitive for?

CIB is all there is.

There is nothing more that is official but try these posts:

If I ever have to work with aacomas, I will ask for that to be implemented. Every year we get a few threads asking the same. No reason why not to do it!

 

[DoctorKrieger]

It may be a lot more painstaking than if it was compiled in a nice pdf, but that info is usually available on each school's site. You could also list your stats and ask SDN where you should apply/are competitive.

user3 was kind enough to collect this data. The collective is on par with the typical midwestern or southern MD school.

An LMU-DCOM admissions employee has given the following numbers for the class of 2018:

LMU Grade Point Averages:
Mean Cumulative GPA 3.45
Mean Non-Science GPA 3.56
Mean Science GPA 3.36
Mean MCAT Composite Total 26-30

 

[DrEnderW]

To complete the missing data Goro posted, Touro NY MCAT is allegedly 30.8 for Class of 2017.

I am unsure about GPA.

 

[bionerd89]

wow I'm surprised that KYCOM average MCAT is 24...

 

[Mehd School]

wow I'm surprised that KYCOM average MCAT is 24...

It's consistently been the lowest as long as I can remember.

What does is mean that the mean MCAT is 26-30? Is that showing the middle 50% (as in from the 25th to 75th percentile)?

 

[bionerd89]

Do you have any idea why that is? Is it because the location isn't favorable?

 

[chizledfrmstone]

It's consistently been the lowest as long as I can remember.

Last time I checked they also had a low board passing rate and high attrition problem.

 

[AlbinoHawk DO]

I know. They finally increased their standards.

 

[AlbinoHawk DO]

Last time I checked they also had a low board passing rate and high attrition problem.

And very heavy in state bias.

they probably meant 26.30

To be honest, your guess is as good as mine. I was just told the true average is higher than last year which was a 26.3 or something.

They might not want to play the numbers game and just gave a range.

 

[lblock209]

So then for finding out which schools are out of state friendly/unfriendly, calling each school would pretty much be the only way to find this info, correct?

(I did a search and a few threads on OOS did come up, but none with exact figures)

If you subscribe to US News Premium, it tells you most schools' info on acceptance rate broken down by in state, out of state, women, minority, etc. It also shows tuition and important info. It has MD and DO info. It had all of the DO schools I was interested in so maybe it can help you out!
