Traditionally, pre-med students applied to medical school after his or her junior year. However, that has changed. Today, a majority of Penn’s applicants to medical school are alumni, not graduating seniors.
Among those who applied for Fall 2013 admission, only 29% were seniors.

That last statement is going to really affect reported GPA…that likely includes many students who needed GPA repair…or who weren’t premed as undergrads so didn’t care if they had some Bs and Cs and then did a post Bacc and aced it.
that reported GPA also includes hooked and URM students. Non-hooked, non-URM, traditional applicants to MD med schools need to aim for GPA’s higher than a 3.5.
the devil’s in the details.
