<p>hey um if you had a 3.6 gpa and 30 > on MCAT and average or higher on any other factors at top undergraduate schools such as Stanford, Cornell, and Harvard…what medical schools can you get in or have a fairly good chance of getting in? Does anyone know? well uh Happy new year~!</p>
<p>I’ve done some interviewing for med schools and I can tell you first off that the “ums”, “heys” and “uhs” would make for a very brief interview.
Assuming you tighten that up a good bit, those numbers will be good enough to get you into at least 1/2 the U.S. & Canadian schools.
Happy New year to you too! ;)</p>
<p>haha ok thx…ill def try to do that b4 the interview day approaches…so u r saying at least the bottom 1/2 of the U.S % Canadian schools? so if you wanted to go to one of the top medical schools in U.S what kind of GPA do you need? is it somewhere around 3.8 or does it need to be 4.0 perfect?</p>
<p>You’re competitive for most schools, you’d get into at least half, but probably not at Harvard, JHU, etc. For those schools you’d need the 3.8 and 34 scores to be competitive, unless you are a URM.</p>
<p>i didn’t work that hard in high school so the best school that i have a chance at is UCLA (maybe Berkeley), from what i hear it might be a better to go to like a UCIrvine and get a 3.8 than UCBerkeley and get a 3.4. Maybe the MCAT would be a bit higher out of Berkeley. So basically assuming everything else is the same, which applicant would you tend to favor:</p>
<p>UCBerkeley 3.4, 34MCAT or UCIrvine 3.8 33MCAT</p>
<p>you’ll have to ask the adcom on that one. ;)</p>
<p>adcoms are grade whores…so the UC Irvine one.</p>
