In my last blog, I wrote about the utility of the MSAR for choosing where to apply to medical school. (Remember, though, that the MSAR only includes schools in the U.S. and Canada.) I wanted to suggest a good web page I found that highlights medical schools’ average GPAs and MCAT scores, data that comes directly from the 2008-9 MSAR. Although this data is technically a year old, this site is useful if you don’t have a MSAR at home: http://www.washington.edu/uaa/gateway/advising/downloads/gpamcat.pdf .
Alternately, you can order the brand new 2009-10 MSAR from the AAMC web site and Amazon (currently cheaper).
