Medical School Statistics

UC Berkeley Medical School Applicants: GPA & MCAT Profiles

 

NOTE: MCAT scores and GPAs are important factors in assessing an application for medical school, but these are not the only factors considered and admission to medical school cannot be predicted based on this data alone.

Other factors considered include:

• the context of one's educational experiences, including any barriers an applicant has overcome
• motivation and maturity
• upward or downward trends in an academic record
• letters of recommendation
• extracurricular experiences, such as research, clinical experience or community service

These other factors explain why an applicant with a relatively low GPA or MCAT score would be admitted to medical school, and conversely, why an applicant with high GPA and MCAT score would not be admitted.

• The dataset includes students who graduated in Dec. 2007, May 2008 and Aug. 2008  who released their AMCAS information to UC Berkeley.  Note: not all applicants release their data to UC Berkeley, so we do not have data for all applicants.
• This set of applicants applied for the first time the year after graduating from UC Berkeley.
• Each cell in the table shows the ratio and percentage of applicants who were admitted by their overall Application GPA and combined MCAT score.  For example:  there were 9 applicants with a GPA of 3.90 or higher and an MCAT score of 35+ and 7 were admitted to medical school.
