How many Harvard students does Harvard get into medical school each year?
The real answer is:….zero. Harvard does not get anyone into medical school; students are accepted to medical school based on their personal qualities, academic skills, experience, and motivation. The following is a partial list of factors that medical school admissions committees consider when evaluating applicants to medical school: • Letters of evaluation • Medical College Admissions Test scores • Grade Point Averages (both science and overall) • Personal interview • Breadth of education • Trend in college grades • Research experience • Community service • Medically-related experience • Potential for service to underserved communities • Timing of application • U.S. and state residency status. For information on MCAT scores, GPA and concentration choice of accepted applicants, see the publication, Medical School Admissions Data for Harvard/Radcliffe Seniors and Alumni/ae, located in the OCS Reading Room and revised annually.
