Med School Placement

<p>From the 2002 U of C Health Professionals Handbook:</p>

What is “enough” GPA? Professional schools do understand the rigorous nature of our College curriculum and look carefully at the transcripts of our applicants. In 1998, the National average GPA of those matriculating to allopathic medical schools 3.58; from the College 3.48. This was the lowest for any college in North America, and clearly indicates that the professional schools appreciate and understand the rigor of the curriculum you have experienced here. In 1999, students from Chicago who scored the national average (~8) or higher on each section of the MCAT and had a GPA equal to or greater than the College Deans List (3.25) had a 67% rate of acceptance. With a GPA of 3.30 the acceptance rate was 75%. So, making the Dean’s List should be a goal for you.
