<p>norcalguy where did you get the gpa/mcat stats?</p>
<p>thanks!

<p>US News.com. I have a subscription.</p>
<p>The data is from 2005 I believe rather than 2006 so it may be slightly different from the MSAR. But US News uses data from matriculants rather than acceptees which I think is more accurate.</p>
<p>1.) The MSAR uses acceptee data? Really?</p>
<p>2.) Actually I'd prefer acceptee data if the goal is admissions. If the goal is to tell you about the eventual student body, then obviously matriculant data is more important.</p>
<p>I prefer matriculant data when deciding where to apply. Not only is it lower (and therefore less scary), it is more realistic. A lower ranked school can easily accept top applicants who'll never come. According to the MSAR, NYU has a 3.8, 35 average (the same as Harvard). But I think we can agree that they don't quite attract the same kinds of students (I think NYU students are closer to 3.7, 33). A student with a 3.7, 33 looking at the MSAR would conclude that he is below-average for NYU when in reality, he matches the stats of their students perfectly.</p>
<p>What does USN report as the NYU mean?</p>
<p>32.7. That is a composite mean which means the actual individual overall test score mean is probably even lower. Also, it's an average rather than a median (which the MSAR uses).</p>
<p>It doesn't surprise me that acceptee data for NYU and Harvard are the same since their applicant pool is the same. There are only a handful of top applicants and those applicants are going to apply to both Harvard and NYU (as a safety school). Early on in the interview season, you're not going to be turning down any interviews so you'll be going to NYU's interview even if you have a 3.8 and a 37 and will be recorded as an acceptee. But NYU doesn't have the pull to be able to get those kinds of applicants to actually come.</p>
<p>Hm. I withdraw all comments. Consider me convinced.</p>
<p>bluedevil, I just have a question for you regarding sources of income since you're already in med school. I was wondering in your med school education, how long do you have to wait until you can actually make decent money to be able to live on your own? Will you be able to support yourself even in your first year of med school? What are some of the jobs available to first year med students? How much do they typically pay? Thanks lot.</p>
<p>What?</p>
<p>1.) At least until residency.
2.) No.
3.) None.
4.) Nothing.</p>
<p>norcalguy, like bdm I think you raise some excellent points. Thank you for sharing that insight. I might have made it there sooner or later but ...that was very helpful.</p>

bdm, LOL. Succinct yet complete. ;)</p>
<p>I suppose I should clarify that you don't necessarily need to be financially dependent on your parents -- banks are usually perfectly willing to step into that role.</p>
