GPA and MCAT scores?

Question

This is for all pre-med or med students: What is your current GPA for science preq and non-science courses? and if your a Med student (who got accepted to med school) what was your GPA when you got accepted and MCAT scores?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!

Answer 1

My cumulative GPA was around 3.5.  My science GPA was 3.9-something, but I took all the science courses as a post-baccalaureate (my undergraduate degree was in something entirely different), so I wasn't taking those courses along with a full load in undergrad.  Darn that B+ in second semester organic chemistry, anyway.  ;-)

I got a 35 on the MCAT.  Troy is right, though, about the averages.  Don't get too caught up in obsessing about the numbers--people who are willing to answer usually did pretty well, but remember that "average" means that about half of accepted applicants did that well or better, but half of them did that well or worse.  If you're planning the pre-med/med school route, just focus on doing as well as you can.

Answer 2

The Average is about a 3.6-3.7 and a 31.

I had a 37 and a 3.4, but that was also with a high credit load of tough classes and graduating early. I also had three years of healthcare experience.
