Let’s review the allopathic public American medical colleges that are the easiest to get in to. With this data, we will include the percentage of out of state matriculants to offer an idea of how competitive that medical school is for out of state applicants. For medical schools with very low out of state matriculation rates (less than 15%) the medical school usually only accept out of state students that have an association with the state in some capacity such as having lived there previously or if the applicant attended undergraduate college in the state. All of the schools on this are public except for Mercer University School of Medicine in Georgia which is private, but, only accepts Georgia residents. You will also see that these schools accept mostly state residents.
When reviewing the data available to determine which medical schools are the easiest to gain accepted to, there are a few things to keep in mind. Many medical schools that have the lowest median GPA and MCAT scores for accepted students are state schools that either accept very few, or no, out of state applicants. Therefore, these state medical schools might be “easiest” to gain acceptance to as an in state applicant but extremely difficult, or impossible, to gain admission to as an out of state applicant.
Since all med schools have a finite number of interview slots each year, they have to be careful about how they fill those interview slots. For this reason, a medical school with a median MCAT of 509 is not likely to interview a student with a 525 on the MCAT. Why? The medical school admissions committee might assume that a student with an MCAT that is so much higher than the school’s average for accepted students will be unlikely to attend. Therefore, they might decide not to “waste” an interview slot for such an exceptional applicant. By the same token, a school with a median GPA of 3.5 may not interview someone with a GPA of 4.0

FYI there's a lot more detail that this videos leaves out about the 10 "easiest" medical schools...
1. Howard and Meharry are historically black medical schools, which are focused on admitting African-Americans applicants. If you are not AA, then your chances are the same as any other medical school.
2. For PR schools, do not apply there because your education and wallet will be compromised
3. Loma Linda is a religious school and favors applicants from SAD or Christian backgrounds
4. Nova MD is a new medical school and accepts 21/3202 (OOS% = 0.65%) from recent MSAR data which is far less than other schools
They don't mention schools Georgetown, George Washington, St. Louis University
1) Historically black medical schools do not indicate who they interview based on race. If you can find this data, please let us know. 2) 41% of NOVA matriculants were from out of state last year and accepted out of state students had an average MCAT of 512 and BCPM GPA of 3.61.
@@MedEdits 1)
Yes, you could be right that they do not interview based off of race. I was saying that these medical schools have a mission to place more African-Americans in medicine (which is awesome!), but that students need to be mindful of this when applying. As an AA, your chances at Howard (87/119 = 73% AA mat's) and Meharry (86/114 = 75% AAs mat's) are greater than if you are non-AA Howard (27%), Meharry (25%). I just want students to put in their own research before blindly applying to schools that have high OOS %'s on face value, but have deeper reasons as to why that this is the case. Does this means there are no Latinos/Asians/Whites at these schools? No, we see that they make up 1/4 COLLECTIVELY. Again, do your due dilligence.
2) Nova MD
- 21/51 = 41% OOS matriculant rate
- 21/3202 = 0.65% OOS matriculant/OOS applicant
- BCPM 3.61, MCAT 512
Let's compare that to Saint Louis University
- 140/180 = 77% OOS matriculant rate
- 140/5924 = 3% OOS matriculant/OOS applicant
- BCPM 3.83, MCAT 514
So, Saint Louis University accepts both MORE total OOS applicants (7x Nova), and has a HIGHER OOS% (almost 2x). While St. Louis has slightly higher metrics, I just want students to do their own research with MSAR before looking at your list for face value. There are also other factors like the fact that Nova MD is a new school which could be a pro/con.
@@peterqazify All good points. Thank you. This is why creating a strategic school list is so important! Hopefully the video will help students to start thinking about how to create school list that will lead to success in the process.
Wait so is gt, gw, and st. Luis supposed to be “easier” schools to get into?
@@Lex-rc1gr not easier to get into..
So I'm 45 with the dream of becoming a doctor, I'm a family nurse Practitioner and acute care nurse Practitioner with 15 years of ICU experience, what is your advice?
Amazing. You'll have the best clinical experience of any "premed!" Be sure your academic record and MCAT score are also competitive.
Are applying to public DO schools not worth the application if i am out of state?
What about private DO schools, will they discriminate out of state students?
you’re cute
@@jzhvaeduh haha thanks
Most osteopathic medical schools do not give the same degree of preference to in state applicants.
Im literally a high school senior and i am already panic watching these videos
literally me
I'm just a junior in high school and I'm so worried I'm trying to study for the MCAT now
Ariana Carey Mariah Grande we got this💖
@@mogammons4274 Period
Ariana Carey Mariah Grande thats a bit excessive lol
She is so clear and direct, so nice to avoid the fluff
Thank you!
How many point i need to go a med school?
Which schools prefer students with only one MCAT score? And what is the best MCAT for acceptance?
All medical schools will consider applicants with more than one MCAT score.
Thanks for sharing these tips! Definitely important to consider the myriad of factors that influence where an applicant should complete their medical training.
How old is too old to consider medical school? I am 41.

@@tdo7125 41 is not too old! We have worked (successfully) with older!
No!! DO IT!!! ♥ We need more passionate doctors, so I say GO FOR IT!! GOODLUCK : )
Thank you for information! By any chance can you do a video on post baccs, biomedical masters, and special masters programs and if they are a good route to take to be a competitive applicant for medical school. Even if you had a low or high gpa in undergrad
Not yet! Academic enhancement is a great way to improve your candidacy if you underperformed academically in college.
MedEdits me and my friends will love to see your input on that. I know a lot of people who have taken this route. Some were successful, others were not
I am an IMG(international Medical graduate) with a GPA of 3.57 ,and willing to apply for med school .Do you think that I am competitive ? I need some advises about how to proceed .Thank you in advance.
This is a competitive GPA for medical school. However, admission for non-US citizens at US allopathic medical schools is extremely difficult.
I have a question. Is there any way to study mbbs in texas from asian countries? Currently i am studying in class 12.can you please help me?
I am so sorry, but, we are not sure of the answer to your question. You could call the Texas Medical Association to help you answer this question. Good luck!
In the US you must already have a bachelor's degree to apply to medical school. MBBS does not exist here
Here's a lot more great info about the easiest med schools to get into: mededits.com/medical-school-admissions/easiest-medical-schools-to-get-into/
Rush is not the easiest school to get into
I have a 3.52 Cumulative GPA with a good upward trend of 4.0 GPA’s in my last two semesters (15 credits each) of all science classes. My pre med advisor recommended for me to do a special masters program because my GPA is not competitive enough. She said 3.6 and higher is what I would need. Do you think I should take this advice? I’m not sure why I would need a masters program if I have shown a good upward trend during my undergrad.
We would really need to understand your course rigor, MCAT score and state residency. Based on what you wrote above a special masters could be a good option but not a "must" depending on other factors.
@@MedEdits Thank you for responding! My major is biochemistry and so the classes in which I had a upward trend in GPA were in upper level biology/chemistry classes that were 3-4 credits each. I have not taken the MCAT yet, but I’m planning to in either January or March 2021 and I’m aiming for a 515-520. My state residency is Michigan!
@@sarahalwan7476 This is all great! Assuming you have two years of strong grades and you earn the MCAT you want, it is not doom and gloom! Of course we would need more specifics to guide you accurately but you have great options in Michigan!
Okey io
Loyola, Rush, and Loma Linda all on my list
Good luck!
A GPA of 3.8, MCAT of 521 but an international student on a visa how can I up my chances
These are great stats, Ambrin. Look for medical schools that accept international students: mededits.com/medical-school-admissions/medical-schools-that-accept-international-students/. Good luck!
The interview freaks me out because I’m generally terrible at them even though I think I’d be a great doctor😞 Great video, thank you.
Medical school interviews aren't stressful. You will be great! Good luck!
intro bumper was way too loud.
Thanks for the informative video . Please share guidance for non American ( Indian ) student .
Hello maam.
Would you guide an non American Indian student from an English medium school who is 10th grade right now , and would love to do medicine in USA.
Caleb Monteiro you’re name doesn’t sound Indian 🤔

Ma'am I m from Mumbai n I m very much Indian
Not likely to happen because of your foreign status.
It is very difficult for non-US citizens to get in to US medical schools.

The Fee Assistance Program only helps a little...so how would you endure four years of medical school and paying the rent each month? Can you help me out and tell me how it is you are paying the rent portion? That I would really like to know. From parents?
We live in the Bay Area and my son with pretty good stats did not get accepted to one UC medical school.
Caveat: for the PR schools, applicants are expected to be bilingual and biliterate in both Spanish and English.
Hi im in kurdistan and ihave a questions for you umm can i go to the med school in 10 years of scholl it means like can i choose in 10 year ? and also can i go to the med school if i have a each point ? please replly because i want to flying to uk for study
Thank you so much for this information! It was very informative and straight to the point. I have watched a lot of premed videos about ways to fill out the application and have never heard such a clear explanation of this important part.
Hi Sasha, Thanks so much. Be sure to join us tomorrow night (8pm, EST/5pm PST) for live office hours with Dr. Freedman: th-cam.com/video/DdC1BdZ58Uc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Any other suggestions of topics we could cover?
I am thinking about double majoring in English and Human Biology (currently a hbio major). Can my gpa be slightly lower due to double majoring and not hurt my chance at med school? Or is it always better to seek higher gpa via only one major?
Bonne
If you're looking for an easy way into med school just give up there are no shortcuts. Nor should there be. You're working on people's lives not cars.
😀
I wouldn’t want a doctor that went to an easy school
It’s not an easy school… just easier to get into 😂😂😂 (and still not easy at all.) Only 40% get in. WOW
Is it more difficult in Canada or similar? People from different countries can apply for these or do they have to be a resident of the country to apply?
A very small percentage of non-US citizens are accepted to some medical schools in the US. You can access those statistics on the MSAR.
As a non US citizen but doing my undergrad here in the US, I need advice on what should focus on most to get into med school?
We advise you to watch our other videos including the one on medical school requirements!
Hello, thank you for this, I will definitely use the WARS application when it comes time for me to chose which schools to apply to! I'm torn between only applying to my state school really close to my family or applying broadly. I'll know more when I get my MCAT score, but am currently going into my 3rd gap year, poor planning and uncontrollable circumstances, I decided to do a post-bacc to get me back into academics as I was having a tough time working two jobs and trying to dedicate enough time to my mcat studies while juggling family, friends, and my personal health. I was hoping to apply this year: however, due to covid my test date was canceled twice and decided to wait. I have about 4000 hours of clinical experience with direct patient care, am a URM had a GPA of 3.48 at time of graduation, worked for 4 years with an individual who has cerebral palsy as a caregiver on top of the medical experience with interspersed volunteering and about 1.5 years of peer mentoring for pre-health students. Do you think with a descent MCAT score, shooting for a 510, I would be fairly competitive? Or should I roll the dice and only apply to my state school (did undergrad there) as early admissions to show that I am committed to them? I would love to go to school there but am afraid to fall short and have to submit applications late to other MD schools. Any input would be great, I am currently just trying to get a 4.0 in my post-bacc and get as prepared as possible to fo great on the mcat and apply early next cycle!
Hi I live in the Caribbean and in the next two years i have the write a huge a exam called CXC or CSEC. I really do want to go to a prestigious medical school in America or England but i am afraid of how costly it can be. Do you think that there are alternatives for me, like a cheaper school or studying in the Caribbean?
There are some Caribbean medical school options to consider but these schools are private and costly as well.
Go to UWI. Do Sciences in CSEC and CAPE. Ace them. Go straight to med school (UWI in Jamaica preferably). You'll have your MBBS by 23-24. Then you can study for the USMLE all you want if youd like to practice here. Wish I had done this. (Grew up in Jamaica). You're welcome. UWI will be way more affordable, your government will fund you-and you can STILL practice in the states later if you pass the USMLE and match. Look up videos on the process.
Which schools are recommendable for International students?
Take a look at this: mededits.com/medical-school-admissions/medical-schools-that-accept-international-students/
Thank you! I'll apply to these schools plus seven others.
Good luck!
No in state public medical school :)
Hi there!
Hope you're staying healthy and safe. So I am a one-year gap student out of undergrad from a state school with a GPA of 3.58.
I'd like to know if this is an okay gpa to go ahead and apply to both MD/DO schools? Also, is working as both a medical scribe and an EMT help my chances?
Your GPA alone is competitive for allopathic and osteopathic medical schools. Your overall competitiveness would depend on your MCAT and other factors related to your candidacy.
I liked the video...not sure about those schools being the easiest to get in to, but the information was great.
Thank you. "Easy" is a relative term!

I sent an Email with some questions about my major situation, thank you so much Mrs. Freedman and have a nice week. ❤️
Hi
饿
My GPA is 2.8
What shall I do?
Some school will have a cut-off of 2.5 GPA but keep in mind some school check the last 2 year
Post bacc and get it to a 3.0 at least. do the best you can on the mcat and apply broadly.
@@daveyjones3016what is post bacc… another friggen year? 😂😂😂
@@nikisawyers7559 Pretty much yea. Either you could do a formal one or a DIY one
What is the best GPA?
4.0! Good luck!
What if you live in a state with no medical schools, and you have to apply to out of state medical schools?
In what state do you live? There are state schools that take a larger percentage of out of state students.
25 medical schools is so expensive to apply to
It is indeed. Depending on your background and stats, you may not need to apply to that many medical schools.
Thank u so much
You are so welcome!
Hi I live in DC and there are only private schools here? Is there an exception for DC residents
What would you advise for applicants with high GPA (3.8+) but low MCAT (like 501)?
You have a great GPA!!! The MCAT is not competitive for medical school so we would want to know your goals (MD versus DO, for example) and would likely advise a retake depending on your aspirations and some other factors.
