It appears there will be a hard cut off at a minimum 3.4 GPA and 512 MCAT for all applicants unless their application is flagged for special review/consideration by the application management software (which can be set to screen for things like disadvantaged or UiM status–both of which are captured by AMCAS as part of the student demographic data).

This is being done in the name of reducing the burden on admission personnel who currently must manually review every one of the 14,000+ applications UCLA receives every year.

I’m sure that many med schools have similar cut offs–they just don’t admit it publicly.
