Med School Countdown provides you with information that will make the medical school application process easier and will help you gauge your chances of success with each medical school based on data provided by previous applicants. Our mission is to help you learn more about the medical school application process and to help you decide the schools to which you want to apply given your GPA and MCAT score.

Current medical school students have provided all of the data on this site. We hope that you find this helpful, and we would like to invite you to “pay it forward” by making an anonymous account with us and entering your information. When you enter the schools to which you are applying – and update your account when you hear back from those schools - you will be doing a huge favor for other medical school applicants like you this year and in future years.
 

The Schools section of the site provides you with user-generated information about each school. Clicking on the "Graphs" or "Applicants" buttons will show you the GPAs and MCAT scores of all of our users who applied to each school –- as well as who got in and who did not. You will notice that you can also look at the data from a number of different application cycles. If you are a current med student, we would appreciate your help in providing information about your school in the Detail portion of each school.

The Users and Search sections allow you to find users who might be similar to you. You can see how they have done in previous application cycles to gauge your own chances of admission.

The My Chances section will compare your GPA and MCAT score to the GPAs and scores of every one of our users who was admitted to every medical school in the country. It will use that comparison to give you a rough estimate of what could be your reach, target, and safety schools. Of course, the function is merely a guide, and we do not guarantee any results. Instead, we merely want to give you an additional resource to help you during this challenging process.

The Forum is a place where you can discuss issues such as the MCAT, your personal statement, interviews, financial aid, and individual schools.

We are constantly trying to improve Med School Countdown to provide you with the best possible experience. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact us. Best of luck in your application process!
