The medical school admissions landscape

Across these 162 medical schools, the typical admitted student sits near a MCAT of 510 and a GPA of 3.70. To be competitive at the more selective half, aim for a MCAT of 514+ with a GPA around 3.82+.
Selectivity varies widely: 131 medicine schools admit fewer than 1 in 5 applicants, while 0 admit more than 60%. The most selective is New York University (2%); the most accessible is University of Mississippi (22%).
That spread is why a single “MCAT score I need” number is misleading — the same stats can be a Safety at one school and a Far Reach at another. Enter yours above to see the split across every school.

How the medical chances calculator works
- 1
Enter your MCAT score
Type your MCAT score (range 472–528) into the calculator. Estimates are allowed — you can also enter a target score you're working towards.
- 2
Enter your GPA
Enter your undergraduate GPA (range 2.0–4.0). Use cumulative GPA on the 4.0 scale. Your match categories update immediately.
- 3
Review your match categories at every school
The calculator scores all 162 US medical schools with published admissions data and shows whether you are a Safety, Target, Reach, or Far Reach — best fits first. Safety = your stats exceed 75% of admitted students and the modelled admission chance is 60% or better; Target = at or above the median; Reach = below median but within the admitted range; Far Reach = below the 25th percentile. At highly selective schools strong stats alone do not make a Safety, so those appear as Targets. Your full category breakdown and strongest matches appear immediately; the complete ranked list opens with a free account.

How categories are calculated
- Safety (75-100): your stats exceed 75% of admitted students and the modelled admission chance is 60% or better.
- Target (50-74): at or above the median admit.
- Reach (25-49): below median but within the admitted range.
- Far Reach (0-24): below the 25th percentile of admitted students.
Beating the admitted median is not the same as being likely to get in. Where a school admits only a small share of everyone who applies, strong stats still leave you short of a coin flip, so those schools are shown as Targets rather than Safeties — in some programmes that means no Safety exists at any score.
