What GPA and admission exam scores do I need to enter professional school?
Your grades and admission exam scores are used to assess your academic potential. There is no magic cut off for either parameter. However, you should strive to present a balanced picture between your GPA and your admission exam scores. Your scores need to be about the same as the previous years ENTERING class (not the national average) for each school that you apply to. In general, a GPA of 3.5-3.6 with higher numbers in science will be sufficient. For medical schools, MCAT composite scores of 30 are competitive; DAT academic average of 20 is competitive; GRE scores of 1100 are competitive. Individual consultation with the program director will provide additional information.
