Where does the 3.5 and a 30 come from?

[Cerberus]

I hear this a lot but it seems like (by looking at the MSAR) that 3.6 and a 31'ish is the standard

Since I fit more towards the 3.5 and a 30, this scares me.

I am cooler than a polar bears toenail, ice cold if you will.

If that's the average, then there are some people over that, and some people under that. So don't worry! You're golden!

The average is actually a 3.5 and 29.4 or around there. For most private schools it's a bit higher. It's the state schools that brings that MCAT avg score down.

Cerebrus,

Actually there are couple of schools with lower than your score.

Medical College of Ohio has a 3.4 and 27 average.

Finch has slightly higher GPA but lower MCAT score, of 3.6 and 29

Ohio state has a 3.6 and 30 MCAT.

I think it all depends on the school.

Tufts has a 3.48 GPA range
