Re: Medical School/Nursing School
Getting into medical school is not an easy thing. I am working on my application as we speak. I am senior in college. My gpa is 3.9
Here is my understanding:
On average, 33% of total people applying to medical get accepted.
Average GPA of someone getting accepted is 3.7 or so.
You must be in the top 1/3 of country on the mcat. This translates to about a 30. You can get in with a 28, but its kinda chancy. My advisor reccomends not even applying without a 27.
Other experiences and letters of rec are good, but MCAT score is the biggest factor.
GPA and other things all combined are not as important as your overall MCAT score.
You can go overseas with much lower scores.
