Do You Have What It Takes?

Academically speaking.  Sure you might be altruistic, selfless, and in love with medicine but do you have the academic record to put you into medical school?  I'm not an admissions counselor.  I am however, not naive and I do realize that your MCAT and GPA will get your foot in the door.  By no means are they the only part of a good application, but I would venture to say they are the most important part of your application.

So, if you want to know what your chances are, then check out the MSAR (Medical School Admission Requirements, United States and Canada) guide and the U.S. News Ultimate Guide to Medical Schools.  These will give you the mean GPA and MCAT scores of last year's matriculants.
