The Committee on Admissions has established threshold levels for both the undergraduate GPA and the total numerical score on the MCAT exam. The minimal acceptable levels are an undergraduate GPA of 3.0, with a C or better in all prerequisite course work, plus a total numerical score of 22 on the MCAT examination. Applicants who do not meet the undergraduate GPA threshold of 3.0 may be considered if they have a GPA of 3.

The answer to this question changes slightly from program to program and is influenced by other factors. Typically, a science GPA of 3.5 or higher combined with a 30 on the MCAT (at least 10 on each section) will make a student competitive. For example, the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine (http://www.ohsu.edu/som/) 2005-2006 entering class had an average total GPA of 3.63, an average science GPA of 3.57, and average MCAT score of 31.

Although there is no set "minimum" GPA or MCAT scores, all applications are reviewed based on a combination of factors including the GPA, MCAT results and level of research experience. Based on the data from the past five years, students who were admitted to the MSTP generally had a strong GPA (average 3.8) and MCATs (average 11-13) and a significant research experience (average of 2 years). In addition, letters of recommendation are given considerable weight in the admissions process. See similar questions...

We recommend a minimum GPA of 3.4, and GRE scores in the 600 range on the Verbal and Quantitative sections. Note that these are recommendations and not requirements. If you are not able to take the GRE Psychology Subject test, or if you are concerned that the test results will arrive too late to be included in your file, the Admissions Committee will place greater weight on your Psychology GPA.

The GRE is only one component of the application. Your undergraduate scholastic record, letters of recommendation, and particularly the personal statement—why you want to study sociology—are all equally important and jointly evaluated by the admissions committee. See similar questions...

YES! Grades mean a lot when applying to medical school, but they are not everything. If your grades are not as competitive as our averages, (GPA: 3.7; MCAT: 30.2) then you want to have strong health care exposure, solid letters of evaluation, and an upward grade trend to name a few. There is no specific formula for success in the application process, but keep in mind that it is the Dean's goal to look for specific sets of reasons to invite you for an interview, not to eliminate your application.

This will depend in part on the school. For many schools, your scores will be valid for five years. However for some, they will be valid for only three years. The medical schools count backward from the time you would matriculate into medical school to determine how old your scores are. So to determine if your scores are valid, determine when you would start medical school, and count back 3 or 5 years. See similar questions...

We will not consider the January 2007 MCAT as a basis for determining whether to invite candidates for an interview. We might, however, consider the score if an applicant on our waitlist after interviewing sends an official score report. See similar questions...

Almost any discussion about EPD protocol, treatments, problems, resources, and news are considered proper. Name calling, picking on people, and personal slurs are considered improper, as in most E-Mail lists. Threads like these only disrupt the usefulness of the mailing list by perpetuating the problems. If you disagree with an EPD related discussion, by all means respond to the discussion topic with your opinion. See similar questions...

most schools, a composite score of 30 or higher combined with a GPA of 3.5 or higher is very competitive. Also, "balanced" scores (e.g. 10, 10, 10) are more desirable than "lopsided" scores (e.g. 5, 13, 12). See similar questions...
