I feel like a couple years ago a LM 67-68 was doable but these days I feel like a LM 69-70 is a necessity. Has anyone gotten in with those stats this cycle?

I can’t seem to find the chart right now on AMCAS that lists different stats and percentage of those accepted. Of course people with lower stats get in. A LM of 69-70 isn’t required, but is certainly helpful. I didn’t have a LM in that range, and I will be attending a US MD school.

I had ~65 LM based on my undergrad gpas, and had a pretty successful cycle

You can see while acceptance rates are low, there are hundreds of people with less than 3.2 GPA and less than 506 MCAT who get a seat
This data does not directly reflect grade trends, postbaccs, or SMP

It also doesn't take into account med schools with lower median stats but which are located in very IS-selective states, like KS, AL, MS, SD. Nor doesn't include URMs, veterans, people with compelling life stories or killer ECs. The typical applicant should NOT place any hope in those boxes of the table and think that their chances are good because of those particular candidates.
