<p>^I’d agree with that. Which is not to say you can’t apply to Harvard or JHU but unless the application is outstanding in some other way, 3.6/32 puts you squarely in that Boston U/Georgetown/Dartmouth kind of range.</p>
<p>jw, what is the source for your numbers, Kdog044? Those don’t look like MSAR numbers as I remember those numbers being much higher. The numbers you posted seem to underestimate the averages of many schools (Harvard with an average MCAT of 33?). </p>
<p>According to Northwestern’s (which is what I would consider a fringe top tier school) own website, their averages are 3.76, 34.8. I would venture that all other top 20 med schools have similar averages (with the exception of the UC’s).</p>
