mdapplicants.com

<p>is this a credible resource? i go to university of delaware, and it's kind of scaring me that there are only 10 profiles from there for undergrad who got accepted to a med school. is UD not prestigous enough or something?</p>

<p>i know that sounds like a really dumb question because everyone says where you go to undergrad doesn't really matter, but i feel like if a student from my school and a student from a better respected school had the same credentials, the latter would get accepted.</p>

<p>^mdapplicants is a website where students selfreport their profiles. So UD's underrepresentation in MDapplicants should not alarm you.</p>

<p>Example: Harvard has only 39 profiles of people accepted to ANY medical school since 1999. That is absurd. </p>

<p>Whether or not the "prestige" of your university matters is debatable. However, if you do well at UD and have EC's (and have fun), then you will PROBABLY make it somewhere.</p>

<p>Only a tiny fraction of applicants have profiles on mdapplicants (we're talking maybe 1-2%) so it's hardly a representative source.</p>

<p>The website says John Hopkins average MCAT score is 37 and GPA is 3.86, is this somewhat accurate?</p>

<p>Sadly, yes :( Actual median of JHU is approx. 35 and 3.85.</p>

<p>^Where did you get those numbers? I was trying to find this information earlier tonight, but couldn't locate it.</p>

<p>MSAR has the median numbers. US News subscription can buy you the average numbers. I have both :)</p>
