Acceptance Statistics

For recent admission cycles, we have the following data for admission to medical schools (MD & DO), veterinary medicine programs, and dental schools. It is important to note, HPAC supports all students who apply and the statistics are for all Skidmore students.

Overall, 84% of the Skidmore students who applied to medical schools, veterinary medicine programs, or dental schools got into at least one program they applied to (on the first attempt, it was 61%). For those accepted, the mean Skidmore GPA was 3.59 and the median was 3.63 with a standard deviation of 0.26.

For medical schools in particular: 81% of Skidmore students who applied were accepted to at least one program (62% on their first attempt). Of those accepted to at least one program:
- Mean Skidmore GPA 3.65, median GPA 3.72, standard deviation of 0.25, range - 2.85 to 4.00
- Mean MCAT score 509, median 511, standard deviation of 7, with a range of 492-526
  - - CPFBS: 127, 127, ± 2, range: 121-132
    - CARS: 127, 127, ± 2, range: 122-131

The acceptance rate based on cummulative GPA (cGPA) at Skidmore was:

cGPA	Skidmore Acceptance Rate (national data in parentheses)
≥ 3.700	90% overall, 79% first attempt (nationally, > 3.79 it was 63% overall)
3.400-3.699	72%overall, 49% first attempt (nationally, 3.40-3.79 it was 39% overall)
