I am a current Hopkins student applying to medical school this cycle. The PreProf office rarely “screens” applicants out. Dr. Verrier (head of the committee) will only tell you to take a gap year(s) if your gpa is below a 3.5. A 3.5 cGPA & sGPA is the cutoff for a committee letter. However, if you want “very good” chances at acceptance to an US allopathic school, Dr. Verrier recommends a >= 3.6 cGPA & sGPA. The average medical school matriculant from JHU undegrad to an US allopathic medical school had a cGPA of 3.64, sGPA of 3.59, and a MCAT score of 31.6. Do realize however, that these averages will only go up in the future so when your son applies, the baseline might be a little higher.
