Average GPA and MCAT Score for Every Medical School (2023)
Discover the medical school admissions statistics you need to get into your top-choice programs, including average GPA and average MCAT scores by school
No matter how the medical school admissions landscape has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant: GPA and MCAT score are the foundation of every application. And regardless of how many medical schools point to their holistic admissions process, the trend of ever-increasing stats among matriculating students shows no signs of slowing down.
In other words, while your written materials, such as your medical school personal statement, AMCAS Work and Activities section, letters of recommendation, and secondaries are incredibly important for getting into med school, they cannot overcome low stats.
The question of where to apply to medical school to maximize your odds of admission can only be reliably answered if you’re aware of each school’s matriculating students’ average MCAT and GPA. So, if you’re wondering whether your stats are “good enough” for a given school or you simply want to know—statistically speaking—the easiest medical schools to get into, you need to know the numbers.
Because the process of finding this information can be incredibly tedious, we decided to do the heavy lifting for you. Specifically, we visited every U.S. medical school’s admissions website to find the average GPA, average MCAT score, and (when reported) minimum MCAT score to help ensure that your application efforts are not wasted on schools where you’re unlikely to be competitive.
We update this information routinely, but if you notice a discrepancy between what is listed on this page and a medical school’s website, please email [email protected] so we can look into it and make any necessary changes.
Without further ado, here is the complete list of U.S. medical schools, including the average GPA and average MCAT scores by school.
(Note: Students often observe discrepancies between the data below and those reported on MSAR. These discrepancies are largely attributable to the fact that medical school websites often report different stats than MSAR, including:
- Whereas MSAR reports median GPA and MCAT, many schools report mean GPA and MCAT.
- Schools typically report data on students entering the first-year class (i.e., matriculating students), but the default MSAR setting is “all accepted applicants.”
- MSAR is published in the spring of each year. On the other hand, medical schools may update their website with average GPA and average MCAT data at any time. This may lead to MSAR and medical schools reporting data on different classes.)
Medical School Acceptance Rates, Admissions Statistics + Average MCAT and GPA for every Medical School (2023-2024)
The two biggest objective medical school admissions stats that determine an applicant’s success in medical school admissions are the average MCAT score and average GPA.
However, subjective criteria which is communicated through your medical school personal statement, AMCAS work and activities, secondary essays, and letters of recommendation, also impact interview and admissions outcomes.
However, for the purposes of this article we will focus on the objective criteria, or med school admission stats, that impact success.
In the medical school admissions process, your MCAT and GPA serve as the foundational building blocks for every student’s candidacy. Sometimes applicants have a difficult time hearing this fact: no matter how exceptional an applicant’s background, it is often impossible to overcome low medical school statistics.
What does this mean exactly? Your MCAT and GPA are the two criteria that will earn you a foot in the door. Assuming these two metrics meet minimum cut offs set by a medical school, your application will actually be reviewed by a human being. If not, your application can be automatically rejected.
Below you will find a complete list of U.S. medical schools, including the average GPA and average MCAT scores by school.
Keep in mind that most medical schools do not publish MCAT and GPA cut offs and many medical schools have sophisticated formulas to determine how to weigh MCAT and GPAs when making these cut off determinations.
Note: It is not always simple to find out a medical school’s average MCAT score and GPAs for accepted students since the Medical School Admissions Requirements (MSAR) only lists MEDIAN (or middle) statistics and not MEAN (or average) statistics for accepted students. However, some medical schools, but not all, post this data on their websites.
Understanding the numerical criteria that influence an applicant’s success in the process will allow premedical students to set goals. It also enables medical school applicants to gauge how competitive they are in general, and for specific medical schools in which they are interested.
Finally, it is important to review medical school acceptance rates to get an idea of each medical school’s competitiveness. The lower the medical school acceptance rate, the more competitive the medical school. And, the higher a medical school acceptance rate, the less competitive the medical school.

Medical School Acceptance Rates
When deciding where to apply to medical school, a student must research each medical school’s average acceptance rate. By understanding school of medicine acceptance rates, applicants can gauge for what medical schools they are most competitive. However, many medical schools do not disclose how many applicants they actually accept.
Medical schools may only publish how many applications they receive, the number of applicants they interview and how many actually matriculate. Therefore, it isn’t always possible to know what percentage of applicants interviewed are ultimately accepted.
Typically, the more competitive the medical school, the lower the acceptance rate. There are some medical schools that one might not think are very competitive based on the average GPAs and MCATs of accepted students. However, some of these “less competitive” schools receive a very large numbers of applications and interview a small percentage of applicants making them quite competitive.
