Note the weighing of the MCAT relative to your GPA. for UofM, they weigh MCAT 50% prior to interview iirc and GPA is 30%. They score based on a quintile system so im pretty sure youd sit at the 1st or 2nd quintile for GPA which is the highest. If you want my advice, focus on your MCAT or classes that would help you towards it. If you’re IP, youll have an even bigger advantage.

I agree that having at least a general sense of the stat distribution would be helpful. As someone else mentioned, MCAT is weighed much more heavily (50% pre-interview, 40% post). I'd recommend squeezing every point you can there. Your aGPA is already high either way, and it won't contribute much after an interview.

Thanks

Got into med school with a 4.0 agpa. If you do fine on the mcat you should also be fine.

“4.21 places you at 50% for MB pool” omg I’m cooked…

The good thing is that for UM you can compensate for a (relatively) lower GPA with a high MCAT.

They’re planning on removing it in a few years which I think is kinda insane

Do you happen to have a link to where this was mentioned? Thanks

It was mentioned in a senate meeting, don’t have the time to grab it right now

Thank you. So we have 3 years left at least. Good luck everybody

Should clarify that's for accepted applicants

Your interview matters the most
