Admission+Data+2002-2011

toc =Introduction= Below are visual representations for applicants and matriculants from Yeshiva University (Men) from 2002-2011. It is important to realize that a successful application consists of more than just a high GPA and MCAT, but high scores for both are still essential. More recent data is available for the students who applied in 2012 and 2011.

Also, see the Admissions Data - MD vs. D.O page for further information on the differences in GPA and MCAT between the two programs.

=Additional Resources= National GPA and MCAT data for applicants and matriculants are provided by AAMC and can be accessed on their website Some tables of interest include:
 * MCAT and GPA Grid for Applicants and Acceptees to U.S. Medical Schools, 2010-2012
 * MCAT Scores and GPAs for Applicants and Matriculants to U.S. Medical Schools, 2001-2012
 * MCAT Scores and GPAs for Applicants to U.S. Medical Schools by State of Legal Residence, 2012
 * MCAT Scores and GPAs for Matriculants to U.S. Medical Schools by State of Legal Residence, 2012

=GPA and MCAT for All Applicants= The chart below provides a visual representation of the grades and MCAT scores for students applying to American MD schools between 2002-2011. While GPA and MCAT alone do not tell a complete story, and many other factors are weighed heavily in the selection process, the data below should give you and idea of the numbers needed to obtain an acceptance to an Allopathic (MD) school in the United States.

*It is important to note this data only reflects MD acceptances in the United States. Many of the students shown as "rejected" obtained acceptances to either Israeli/Carribean medical schools (MD), Osteopathic medical schools (D.O), or Podiatry school.

=GPA and MCAT for YU Matriculants to American MD Schools= The chart below provides a visual representation of the grades and MCAT scores which have allowed students to successfully enter US Med schools (not DO or foreign schools) over the past 10 years. While the chart shows that a few students are successful with a GPA and MCAT score below the average, it should be noted that these outliers were for students who applied in 2007 and 2008 or applied to students who had extraordinary challenges that were overcome. (having mono for one semester or other normal school of family stresses are not "extraordinary"). Students who stay within the 3.7 or better science GPA have the greatest success even if their MCAT score is between a 29-31.
