Questions about a 511 MCAT
What are my chances of getting into medical school with a 511 MCAT?
The AAMC publishes acceptance rates by MCAT and GPA band (AAMC FACTS Table A-23, 2023-24 to 2025-26 combined). For an MCAT of 510–513: 70.5% with a GPA above 3.79; 60.0% with a GPA of 3.60–3.79; 48.7% with a GPA of 3.40–3.59; 42.3% with a GPA of 3.20–3.39. Each figure is the share of applicants accepted to at least one US MD school, not the rate at any single school.
Is 511 a good MCAT score?
A 511 is at or above the median MCAT on file at 90 of 161 US medical schools in AdmitBase's data. In the AAMC's national data, 60.0% of applicants with an MCAT of 510–513 and a GPA of 3.60–3.79 were accepted to at least one MD school. GPA moves that figure a great deal, so read the score together with it.
Which medical schools have a median MCAT of 511 or lower?
AdmitBase has a median MCAT at or below 511 on file for 90 US medical schools. Among the medians confirmed against the school's own class profile, the highest are Northeast Ohio Medical University College of Medicine (511), UC Davis School of Medicine (511), University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (511), UNMC College of Medicine (511) and Wake Forest University School of Medicine (511). Being at a school's median is not an acceptance: it means half of that entering class scored at or below this number.

School medians are AdmitBase's catalog figures for the year shown; those marked ≈ are approximate and not yet confirmed against the school's own class profile. National rates are the AAMC's. Grouping a school by where one test score falls is a comparison of published numbers, not a prediction.
