Over the years we have tracked the success of medical school applicants from Cornell, using two quantitative factors, Grade point average (GPA) and Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores. In 2002, when there were fewer applicants nationally and at Cornell, 81% of all Cornellians were accepted.

MU consistently ranks significantly above the national average (~44-45%) for acceptance into medical school. For the 2012 entering class, approximately 75% of MU’s applicants with a 3.69 Cumulative GPA and a score of 29 on the MCAT were accepted into medical school. This is an important question to ask.

For allopathic medical schools, the mean GPA of accepted students is over 3.5 and our experience is that a GPA below 3.3 is tough to overcome; for osteopathic schools, the numbers are slightly lower. Medical schools also parse your grades different ways (science GPA, non-science GPA, GPA by year, etc.). Since much of what you learn in medical school involves science, your science GPA should demonstrate that you can understand science. Note that if you take courses at other institutions, these grades are not included in your Geneseo GPA, but they will be used to calculate your GPA for your medical school application.

goOPPA Registered User Posts: 63 Junior Member. What is considered average and decent GPA for Premed students? I was a straight A's student at my high school, but I know that college will be much harder.

Yes, as long as the requirements of the professional schools are met. There is no “pre-med” major at MU, but as long as students work together with their major adviser and the MedOpp adviser they can major in anything they want. You can check out the general recommended coursework for a health profession school, here.

1 In 2010, applications were up significantly and Cornell's acceptance rate was 67%.  Seventy-one percent of those Cornellians with a GPA of 3.4 or better were accepted to medical school in 2013. Grade point average is one useful predictor of acceptance.

Rates of admission to medical school vary over time, given the number of applicants. For example, in the late 1980s around 30,000 people applied to medical school, however, this rose to an historic high in 1996 when nearly 47,000 people applied for the then 17,000 available medical school seats. Since 2007, national applications have hovered around 42,000.

Replies to: Premed GPA. I would say not to drop below a 3.5 GPA, anything over a 3.7 will make you fairly competitive, and 3.90+ is definitely not unheard of if you put your mind to it. At least that's what I heard from current students.
