School-list example

Glossary term
School Median MCAT
A school class-profile midpoint used for context, not a cutoff or admissions guarantee.
Definition
A school class-profile midpoint used for context, not a cutoff or admissions guarantee.
A school median MCAT is one context signal inside a much broader admissions picture. It should be read with GPA distribution, mission fit, residency patterns, course prerequisites, clinical experience, and source year.
Copied medians age quickly. A school-list worksheet should link back to MSAR or the school's official class profile and mark when the number was reviewed.

Source caveat
School median MCAT values should be checked against MSAR or school-published class profiles before application decisions.
