OP, did your kid choose WashU or Emory?

WashU is more transparent regarding their med school results, showing acceptance rate by GPA and MCAT. IMO all schools should make this data public. https://wustl.app.box.com/s/1jp60uqzhcxte4xybktahqo3jl77y0dc

This data includes results to both DO and MD schools. It does not include applicants from Washu’s business and engineering schools, which I think is odd (and possibly concerning, because it makes one think that the relative acceptance rates of those students are lower, perhaps even below average).

OP, you will never be able to really get the data you need, as no one has gone through both schools pre-med curriculums. Neither school posts ‘average’ GPAs for med school applicants. Where a given school falls on the cut-throat to collaborative continuum is subjective and impossible to parse out only premed students. Suffice it to say it will require significant effort to earn a 3.7 GPA or sGPA at both schools. Good luck.
