What do the chances become at a school which has your GPA/MCAT+

So the "chances" you see in the AAMC tables or in a school's acceptance rate are pretty broad statistics - does anyone have any idea what the chances are for a school which you have the STATS for or higher?

Say a state school X has a 512/3.7 average accepted student and you have a 512/3.7 from in state - is it a pretty good bet you'd at least get an interview or is it still wildly unpredictable? or somewhere inbetween?

Like most things...it depends. If the state school is extremely competitive, say a UC or UVA or Michigan etc, they probably still skip over most people with matching numbers. For a state school in most places though, say that interviews about half of instate applicants, then you can pretty safely expect an interview if your stats are at their acceptee medians.

Everything depends upon your app, not merely your stats. But with good ECs and stats right at median for a school, this suggests a candidate has very good odds for an II.

Getting accepted is 100% on you.

Keep in mind that those chances you see are sometimes skewed by state and mission-based schools. A

Some states offer interviews to every in state applicant, others offer few. It just depends very much on the school and state in question
