What medical schools in Oklahoma look for
Median MCAT across Oklahoma runs from 500 at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine to 511 at University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Where your score sits in that spread shapes which of them to apply to, so application, so check it before you build a list. What counts as a good MCAT score sets out the national picture, and the percentile tables show what each scaled score means.
Between 3.60 and 3.90 is where median GPA sits. A GPA below that band is still in the conversation with a strong MCAT, and a single cycle is long enough to raise an MCAT score. If you have already tested, the retake calculator prices what another attempt would take, and the score calculator converts an AAMC practice test into a scaled score.
For residents, tuition starts at $25,797 at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine and reaches $31,894 at University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Medical school tuition across the US and Canada puts those numbers in context.
They do not all use the same application. It is AMCAS for one, AACOMAS for one. Applying across services means duplicating work, so check which one each school on your list takes before you start.
One of the two awards a DO alongside the MD programs. Both lead to licensure and residency, and DO programs generally admit at lower median scores, which is why they belong on most lists. The medical schools that admit at the lowest medians covers that ground nationally.

Common questions about medical schools in Oklahoma
How many medical schools are in Oklahoma?
Two medical schools. One awards an MD and one awards a DO. Every one is listed in the table above with its median MCAT, median GPA and tuition.
What MCAT score do you need for medical school in Oklahoma?
Median MCAT runs from 500 to 511, so a score at or above 511 puts you in range at about half of them. A median is the midpoint rather than a cut-off, and roughly half of each admitted class scored below it. What counts as a good MCAT score goes through how to read those numbers, and our guide to raising a score covers how to raise one.
What GPA do you need for medical school in Oklahoma?
Medians land between 3.60 and 3.90. A GPA under that band is workable when the MCAT is strong, which is the part of the application still open to change once your transcript is fixed.
How much does medical school cost in Oklahoma?
In-state tuition runs from $25,797 a year at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine to $31,894 at University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, before living costs. Tuition across the US and Canada sets those against the national range.
Which Oklahoma medical school is easiest to get into?
By median MCAT, Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine admits at the lowest score of the group at 500. That makes it the most forgiving on numbers, though secondaries, interviews and mission fit still decide the outcome. Our secondary prompt database carries the essays each school asks for.
What is the acceptance rate at medical schools in Oklahoma?
Schools here report roughly 2,434 applications against about 163 seats, which works out near one place for every 15 applications. That is not a per-applicant acceptance rate, because most people apply to fifteen or twenty schools and get counted at each one. Read it as a measure of how crowded each committee's desk is, and as the reason a screening MCAT and GPA come first. Individual schools publish their own rates, and the in-state and out-of-state figures usually differ sharply.
Which application service do Oklahoma medical schools use?
Amcas for one, aacomas for one. The table above lists it per school, so you can group your list by service before you start writing.
Are there DO schools in Oklahoma?
Yes. Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine awards a DO rather than an MD. Osteopathic programs lead to the same licensure and compete for the same residencies, and they generally admit at lower median MCAT and GPA, so leaving them off a list narrows your options for no good reason. The table above shows their numbers beside the MD programs.
Can you get into a medical school in Oklahoma with a low GPA?
It happens, and the MCAT is usually what carries it. With medians between 3.60 and 3.90, a GPA a few tenths under still gets read when the test score sits at or above the median and the rest of the application is strong. An upward trend across your transcript reads better than a flat average, and a post-bacc or a master's is the standard route when the gap is wider than that. Raising an MCAT score is the faster of the two levers.
When should you apply to medical school in Oklahoma?
AMCAS opens in May and submitting in the first weeks of June is the strongest position, because most schools review on a rolling basis. Work back from that to pick a test date on the AAMC calendar, leaving room for a retake if the first score comes in short.
