MCAT and GPA figures are medians for the 2026-27 application cycle. An asterisk marks a school with an MCAT or GPA figure from an earlier cycle, which may be an average. Rank is each school’s place in U.S. News & World Report’s 2021 Best Medical Schools: Research list, released in March 2020. Its last numbered list was the 2023-24 edition, and we couldn’t confirm those ranks for every school here, so the column keeps the 2021 list. Since 2024, U.S. News has grouped medical schools into tiers with no numbered ranks, so there’s no newer numbered list to use.

If you’d like more on where you stand, we cover the GPA medical schools look for, how MCAT scoring works and acceptance rates after an interview.

Medical schools by state

Each state guide lists every medical school there with its median MCAT, GPA and tuition.
