So how hard exactly is Duke School of Medicine to get into?

Pre-Med & Medical School Specific Med Schools

<p>I was recently over at the hospital in Duke (doctors appointment with my mother) and I have heard that the med school is basically the best in the country. But theoretically speaking, if I'm able to get a 3.7+ GPA,30+ MCAT, and work as an EMT for a few years what would my chances be at getting accepted into the university, And what is the average scores for incoming medical students?</p>

<p>The theoretical MCAT and GPA are both below Duke’s median for accepted students. Additionally Duke is a very research-oriented school and your lack of significant research will definitely hurt your chances for admission there. </p>

<p>EMT isn’t a “lock” for med school admissions. Applicants with EMT, CNA and/or medical scribing credentials and experience are dime a dozen among med applicants.</p>
