How the Match Score Works

Percentile-based, not a simple range lookup

Your MCAT and GPA are compared against each school’s 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile admissions data. Medical schools weight MCAT at 50% and GPA at 50% — reflecting how AMCAS applicant statistics are distributed across programs.

Safety (75–100)

Your numbers exceed the school's median — a strong application profile.

Target (50–74)

Competitive range. A well-crafted application has a real path to acceptance.

Reach (25–49)

Below median but within range. Worth applying, especially to schools that value your profile.

Far Reach (0–24)

A long shot numerically. Include sparingly and weight your list toward targets.
