MCAT and GPA Grid for Applicants and Acceptees to U.S. Medical Schools by Selected Race and Ethnicity, 2005 to 2007 (aggregated)

The table below displays the acceptance rates at different MCAT and GPA levels for applicants and accepted applicants who self-identified* as Hispanic or Latino, Black or African American, or American Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination from 2005 to 2007. The frequencies are combined totals of all three years. For more race and ethnicity data, click Asian, Black, Hispanic, or White. Please e-mail us if you need further assistance or have additional inquiries.

* Since 2002, following U.S. federal guidelines, AMCAS has asked applicants who are U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents to self-identify using two separate questions: the first question (”Ethnicity”) asks applicants whether they are “Spanish/Hispanic/Latino/Latina” or “Not Spanish/Hispanic/Latino/Latina”; the second question (”Race”) asks applicants to self-identify using non-Hispanic or Latino race categories, and applicants are asked to “check all that apply.” The ethnicity category and several race categories permit further self-identification by sub-categories. Prior to 2002, AMCAS applicants were not able to select more than one race; thus, data prior to 2002 are not directly comparable to later data.
