Estimated figures
We hold no Yale School of Medicine-published entering-class median, so the test and GPA figures above are estimates rather than school-reported numbers. Treat them as a rough guide, and the acceptance rate and class size as the firmer numbers on this page. Estimates are replaced school by school as each official class profile is confirmed, and this notice disappears when that happens.
