According to some published data, students with a 3.2 have a 65% admit rate, and those with a 3.3 a 75% admit rate. Get a 3.4 or 3.5 and one should be a good shape (at least as GPA is concerned). The overall national admit rate to med school is about 46%. That is, 46% trying for med school are admitted to a med school. This is not to be confused with individual school admit rates. And, as my very well known and respected physician relative said to my S, there is no such thing as a bad med school in the US, one will get the same education no matter where one goes.
