So if you didn't know, DPMS has a conditional acceptance to Drexel Medical School if you have a >45% MCAT and a >3.2 GPA in the program. These standards for CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE seem ridiculously low to me, yet the success rate of this program has historically been ~50%. The explanations on SDN for this have been been vague and usually include "insufficient resources". Does anyone have a bit more specific information? Is it the GPA or the MCAT that's the problem?
