            According to the 59 medical school admissions officers our Kaplan team spoke with in 2024, 39% said a low MCAT score is “the biggest application deal-breaker” in the primary application, followed by a low GPA and then a lack of clinical experience.
In the table below, we list the average MCAT scores for some of the top medical schools across the U.S.
| MEDICAL SCHOOL | AVERAGE MCAT SCORE | 
|---|---|
