Many schools and other resources I've seen post the average MCAT and GPAs of incoming students, but is there any resource that gives the standard deviation of those scores? Otherwise, is there anything like a rule-of-thumb 95% confidence interval typical of most schools (e.g., a rule-of-thumb of +/- 2 points on the MCAT, such that 95% of the incoming class at school X, whose average MCAT was 33, scored within about 31 - 35)?
I'm basically 1-2 points below many schools to which I would like to apply (I'm 33, and those schools are 34-35), and I'd like to get a better idea of whether my money and time is better spent applying elsewhere this summer.
Thanks!
