The minimum acceptable GPA is 3.2. Applicants with a science, non-science, or overall GPA below 3.2 will not be considered. The average GPA is approximately 3.6 in science, non-science, and overall. All grades received for college credit are included in the AMCAS GPA calculation.
I know that gpa is not the only factor, and that a high gpa won't guarantee an acceptance to a top medical school. However how high does one's science gpa have to be if there overall gpa is in the 3.75 range in order to be competitive for a top medical school. I know it has to be the highest that I can possible get it to be. For me by the time I apply Junior Year, it should be around a 3.65-3.7.
