What are the average university grades of successful applicants?
We apply the same high standards at Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar as those applied at Weill Cornell Medical College (WMC). The mean science Grade Point Average (GPA) for this year’s entering class at WCMC-Q was 3.5 out of 4. However, our Committee on Admissions recognizes that, for a variety of reasons, grades alone are not reliable indicators of applicant capability to excel in the field of medicine. Our decisions take into account a range of other important factors, such as the personal qualities of applicants, evidence of their interest in the field of medicine, reports of multiple interviews, and of course, MCAT scores, before offering a place at WCMC-Q.
