The information is from the "Data" Section of this report!

Why is GPA and MCAT important? (via https://mededits.com/medicalschoola...)
"The two biggest objective medical school admissions stats that determine an applicant’s success in medical school admissions are the average MCAT score and average GPA.

However, subjective criteria which is communicated through your medical school personal statement, AMCAS work and activities, secondary essays, and letters of recommendation, also impact interview and admissions outcomes."

Via AAMC:

"Looking for information about individual medical schools?

When you’re ready to start exploring medical schools, subscribe to Medical School Admission Requirements™ (MSAR®), a website with comprehensive profiles of each MDgranting U.S. and Canadian medical school. MSAR is a trusted source of information about medical schools, updated with data from the MCAT® exam, the AMCAS® application, and medical school admissions offices. A subscription enables you to search, sort, rank, and compare individual U.S. and Canadian medical schools. Profiles are updated throughout the year by medical school staff to ensure information is complete and current."

Looking for a TL;DR? Look no further. The following is an executive summary of some (not all, unfortunately) of the results I go over in the video. Again, directly quoting from the report:

"These accepted applicants possessed a broad range of MCAT scores — from 477 to 538, with a median score of 512 — and undergraduate grade point averages ranging from 2.14 to 4.00, with a median GPA of 3.79. Accepted applicants also reported a wide variety of personal characteristics and life experiences, with over 80% reporting community service experiences. Women outnumbered men among accepted applicants for the fourth consecutive year. The number of accepted applicants identifying as Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish origin increased from the previous year...

The number of men applicants to the 20202021 entering class decreased by 874 from the number of men applicants to the previous year’s entering class. The number of women applicants to the 20202021 class increased by 496 from the previous year’s number."
