Questions people ask
What MCAT score do medical schools want?
In 2025-2026 the 23,440 students who started at US MD schools had a mean MCAT of 512.1 and a mean GPA of 3.81 (AAMC FACTS Table A-16). Schools' own averages differ widely; each school row here shows its published figure and year.
Is a 510 MCAT good enough for medical school?
Of the 26,292 applicants with MCAT 510 to 513 in 2023 to 2026, 16,416 (62.4%) were accepted to at least one US MD school (Table A-23). The rate differs a lot by GPA, and it describes a past group, not your chance.
Where do these school figures come from?
Each school's own admissions page, read on September 27, 2026, with its link. We do not use the paid MSAR database, and we only list figures that carry a class year.
Does this include DO schools?
No. AAMC FACTS covers MD-granting schools. DO schools report through AACOM.

How we work this out
What it does
See how US MD applicants with your MCAT and GPA fared, and where you sit against the class figures medical schools publish themselves.
Every applicant to US MD-granting medical schools in 2023-2024 through 2025-2026 (AAMC FACTS Table A-23), the 2025-2026 applicant and matriculant means (Table A-16), and seven schools whose own admissions pages publish an entering-class MCAT and GPA with a year.
Method
- Your MCAT total is placed in one of AAMC's ten MCAT bands and your GPA in one of its GPA bands.
- The tool reads that cell of Table A-23: how many applicants had that combination over three years, and how many were accepted to at least one US MD school.
- It shows the national matriculant and applicant means from Table A-16 for 2025-2026.
- For each school, it compares your scores with the school's own published figure, keeping the school's statistic (a class mean, or the range of applicants offered admission) and class year.
- Near means within 2 MCAT points or 0.05 GPA of a school's mean.
