Around 18,000 MDs graduate from US-based schools each year. However, there must be much more than this who were accepted, since 1 applicant can become accepted at multiple institutions.
I'm trying to figure out the following as a result:
1. Given that the average MCAT for matriculants is 30.8, what is the average MCAT score for everyone who has been accepted to MD schools?
2. When a school publishes it's average MCAT, is this the average of all applicants, all candidates who were accepted (everyone who was accepted by the admissions counsil, but not neccessarily enrolled), or all candidates who joined the school?
3. How do MCAT scores differ between all candidates who were accepted to a medical school (everyone who was accepted by the admissions counsil, but not neccessarily enrolled), or all candidates who joined the school? I would think that a person who scored 35 on the MCAT who applies to Univ. of Mississippi and Tufts would take his/her admissions offer to Tufts and not to UoMiss, but that this would inflate Univ.of Miss' 'average MCAT data'.
