    National Data on Medical Student Outcomes by MCAT and GPA

    As a supplement to the annual Using MCAT Data in 2024 Medical Student Selection, this page features national data on medical student outcomes from the most recent cohorts available. The tables below describe how well undergraduate GPAs and MCAT scores predict medical student performance on the Step 1 exam (first attempt), the Step 2 CK exam (first attempt), on-time progression to year three, and graduation from medical school within four or five years. Examining the associations of undergraduate GPAs and MCAT scores with these varied outcomes provides different insights about the likelihood of success for applicants with different ranges of undergraduate GPAs and MCAT scores.
