My guess is more spots available.

The table you posted shows the "Acceptance rate for applicants self-identified as Hispanic, Black, or American Indian, 2005-2007 (aggregated)"

It is not representative of the applicant pool as a whole. This table includes all applicants:

As always, let's remember that this table *does not* show percent chance to be accepted with a certain set of stats, though it might be close-ish for the bins with large sample sizes.

Is this new data from the old grid or was 3.8+ 39+ always 93%?

 

[YaBoyAR]

basically this list shows that med schools accept all shapes and sizes, as 33 applicants with a 5-14 on their MCAT got in. granted at much lower rates, but they do exist

I'm sure that knowledge will alleviate the concerns of some, and serve to anger others with several rejection notices.

it is interesting to compare the two tables given above. the acceptance rate for all applicants is 46.1% while that of URMs is 43.6%. Which to me, debunks the "URMs are taking our spots" theory.

Overall acceptance? Hey yeah that's great. Control for their grades and MCAT next time.

It is notable that if you're an URM with above a 3.8 GPA and 33 MCAT, you're basically guaranteed a spot at a medical school.

this is for URM only

 

[st2205]

Looks like somebody got accepted with 1.47-1.99 GPA and 15-17 MCAT. How does this work?

Yea but that is almost the same with White applicants at 3.8 and 33 its 91% versus URM 97%. I believe above 90% its basically nothing major. Plus look at the # of URMs at 3.8 and 33, 169 applicants versus White 3,145. There are 18x more applicants that are White that receive that score of above 90th percentile on the MCAT because of the small # of URMs applying. With that as the case I would think that it would be harder to stand out as an applicant in one pool versus another if you have thousands of people with your score or better.

oh..
thats depressing.. i was slightly hopeful lol

 

[Shinobiz11]

Ohh nice find. BTW, am I considered URM if I am half Hispanic half Asian?

 

[vin5cent0]

I need to take notes from the guy who got accepted with the <14 MCAT and C average

 

[Burk]

Is the indicating your ethnicity a problem if you're not an URM? What I mean is, should I be more inclined to answer "prefer not to answer" or is there a separate box that you can check for being URM?

Probably had an AMAZING life!

As a side note, what GPA do non-traditional students submit to medical schools? Their undergraduate GPAs?

Yup, their uGPAs are submitted along with any other grades they've gotten since they graduated from college.

I have a 3.9 gpa and a 30 mcat and my chances are 85%. Would my chances really have dropped to a 72% if I lost 1 point on the mcat?

Facepalm. The mcat scores are in bins. I think it is safe to assume that there is a distribution across the bin, with the higher mcats having above the bin percentage acceptance, and the lower scores with lower percentages. It is not just one steep dropoff

Not that it would ever happen, but this data would be much more interesting if pinned to individual schools.

this is for URM only

the direct link is for urm, simply click the button up top that says "white applicants" if that is what ur looking for

Interesting points. I really wanted to see the statistics of "prefer not to answer." Because it's for MD school, I'm afraid to click that button.
