University of Michigan Medical School MCAT and GPA

University of Michigan Medical School reports average undergraduate GPA of 3.85 for its entering class. It does not publish an MCAT figure through the sources PreMD tracks.

  • GPA3.85 against a median of 3.8 across the 155 MD programs that report it, which puts it around the 70th percentile of those programs.
  • Out-of-state tuition$79,575 against a median of $69,571 across the 154 MD programs that report it, which puts it around the 94th percentile of those programs.
  • Entering class size168 against a median of 139 across the 160 MD programs that report it, which puts it around the 63rd percentile of those programs.

A percentile here is against the programs that report the figure, not against every medical school and not against applicants. It says where the school sits among its reporting peers and nothing else.

University of Michigan Medical School acceptance rate

PreMD does not publish an acceptance rate for individual schools. The free national sources publish applications and matriculants, not the number of offers a school made, so an acceptance rate cannot be calculated from them without inventing the missing number.

What can be published from those figures is the ratio: University of Michigan Medical School received 10,277 applications for 168 seats in the entering class, or about 61.2 applications per seat.

University of Michigan Medical School interview

All interviews will be conducted virtually on Thursday afternoons, including both one-on-one interviews and multiple mini-interviews. On the same week as the interview, we require participation in a Monday night event with current UM med students.

PreMD reads that as an MMI, and sets up its interview practice for this school accordingly.

We start sending interview invitations in August.

University of Michigan Medical School rankings

PreMD does not publish a ranking of medical schools and does not republish anyone else's. Ranking tables are licensed products, and a number reproduced here without its methodology and its year is worse than no number at all.

What this page publishes instead is the comparison above: where the school's own reported figures sit among the MD programs that report the same figure, with the count of reporting programs stated so the comparison can be judged.
