I remember looking on here or AAMC a few months ago and found a list of medical statistics that listed mean median GPA science non science, MCAT etc... also where can you find a conclusive list of med school tution if there is one.

Thanks guys...

Dont know the exact numbers but if you're not an URM then avg gpa of acceptance is slightly over 3.6. MCAT is 30?

And as far as tuition...that depends on what state you're in. The Out of state schools will obviously tax you up the ying yang

Thanks for the info, but I am not quite sure what you mean by URM?

URM= under represented minority= lower grades will get you by

so like a non-trad? Because I definitly fall into that catagory. I realisticly expect a 30+ on the MCAT and a 3.3 -3.7 GPA when I am done. I took that practice one on the AAMS and did realativly ok with only half of my pre reqs completed. Just stressing hard tonight for some reason. I should be cool though for local state school yea?

More like black and hispanic. If you're white and nontrad, you pretty much fall into the rest of the bunch.

No, not like a nontraditional student. It's pretty much "Are you black, Mexican, or a Native American?"

There is no stat for expected MCAT score, and non-traditional students are not URMs.

Wow, a little hostile tonight. I understand that and by no means am I under the illusion that I will walk in and pass the MCAT with flying colors. That would be rather disapointing actually. I am incredibly competitive, sometimes too much for my own good, but If that is where I see myself being I should be ok? ICENINE= ICEHEART bro, chill I am just a friend man.

General rule of thumb is 30/3.5 will get your foot in the door. However, many other factors may contribute to your chances.

Your major, your science GPA, your undergrad school, your extracurriculars and where your instate residency is will all contribute to the process. Just aim for at least a 30 and maintain above a 3.5 on your GPA. If you are from the west coast.....you will need higher stats. Make sure to jump through all the hoops that are required of you and apply broadly and to many schools.
