Questions
What are my chances of getting into medical school?
Find your GPA and MCAT in the chart. Overall, 45.1% of MD applicants were accepted to at least one school. With a GPA above 3.79 and an MCAT above 517 it was 83.3%; with a 3.00–3.19 GPA and a 498–501 MCAT, 15.4%.
Does this include DO schools?
No. AAMC's grid covers U.S. MD schools only. AACOM doesn't publish a GPA × MCAT grid; its 2025 averages were a 3.62 GPA and a 502.95 MCAT.
Why are some squares empty?
AAMC hides any GPA and MCAT combination with fewer than 10 applicants, to protect privacy and because a handful of people says little.
Is this for one year?
No, three application cycles are combined (applying for fall 2023, 2024 and 2025), which makes the small groups more reliable.
