What is the average MCAT score in 2026?

The average MCAT score among recent test takers is 500.5, while students who enrolled in U.S. MD programs averaged 511.8 in AAMC FACTS 2024-2025.

What is the highest possible MCAT score?

The highest possible total MCAT score is 528. Each of the four sections is scored from 118 to 132.

What is the lowest possible MCAT score?

The lowest possible total MCAT score is 472.

What MCAT score do you need for Harvard?

Harvard Medical School applicants are usually competing in the low-520s. This is not a formal cutoff, but a 520+ score is the range most applicants use as a realistic benchmark.

Is 512 a good MCAT score?

Yes. A 512 is above the 2024-2025 average for students who enrolled in U.S. MD programs and sits in the mid-80th percentile range under current AAMC percentiles.

Do medical schools see all your MCAT scores?

Yes. Schools receive your complete MCAT testing history, although different admissions committees weigh multiple attempts differently.

How long are MCAT scores valid?

Most medical schools accept MCAT scores that are 2 to 3 years old, but each school sets its own policy.

What MCAT score is the 90th percentile?

A 515 is the current 90th-percentile benchmark for the MCAT.

What is the average MCAT score for students who enroll in MD programs?

The AAMC FACTS 2024-2025 table shows a 511.8 mean total MCAT score for students who enrolled in U.S. MD programs.

Is 500 a bad MCAT score?

Not automatically. A 500 is around the middle of the score distribution and can still be workable for some applicants, especially if the rest of the application is strong or if the school list is built realistically.

Can you get into med school with a 505?

Yes. A 505 can still be viable for many applicants, particularly at some state MD programs and many DO schools, but you need the rest of the application and the school list to be aligned with that score.

MCAT Statistics and Trends 2026

Most MCAT pages answer only one question: what is a good score. That is too narrow. A useful statistical view also needs test volume, applicant volume, enrolled-student volume, score distribution, GPA context, school benchmarks, and retake data.

The current baseline is clear. Recent MCAT examinees average 500.5. MD applicants in 2024-2025 averaged 506.1. Students who enrolled in U.S. MD programs in 2024-2025 averaged 511.8. In the 2024-2025 AAMC MD admissions cycle, 51,946 people applied and 23,156 enrolled.

This page is built around direct answers. Each section starts with the main number or conclusion, then adds the context needed to interpret it correctly.

Overview

How Many People Take the MCAT Each Year?

About 98,000 MCAT exams are administered per year based on 293,882 exams from 2022 through 2024. In the 2024-2025 AAMC MD admissions cycle, 51,946 people applied and 23,156 enrolled.

These are three different populations. The first is everyone who sits for the exam. The second is the subset that applies to U.S. MD programs. The third is the subset that ultimately enrolls. They overlap, but they are not interchangeable.

AAMC percentile reporting for 2026 is based on 293,882 exams from 2022 through 2024, which works out to roughly 98,000 exams per year. The admissions funnel is much narrower. That is why the MCAT can be widely taken while medical school admission remains highly selective.

Scores

What Is the Average MCAT Score in 2025-2026?

The recent average MCAT score is 500.5 among test takers. The 2024-2025 AAMC applicant average is 506.1. The 2024-2025 average for students who enrolled in U.S. MD programs is 511.8.

The national average is only the starting point. The more useful distinction is between the overall testing population, the applicant pool, and the enrolled-student pool. Those groups sit at different score levels.

Percentiles also compress quickly in the middle of the distribution. A move from the low 500s into the 510 to 515 range changes national standing far more than many students expect.

Range

What Is the MCAT Score Range?

The MCAT score range is 472 to 528. Each of the four sections is scored from 118 to 132, which produces the 56-point total-score range.

This is one of the highest-volume MCAT queries, and the answer is simple. The maximum possible score is 528. The minimum possible score is 472. A perfect section score is 132, and a midpoint total lands around 500 to 501.

The score range also explains why small raw-score changes matter. On a 56-point total scale, a move of even two or three points can shift percentile standing meaningfully in the middle of the distribution.

What Percentile Is a 510 MCAT Score?

A 510 MCAT score is at the 79th percentile in the current AAMC table. For comparison, 500 is 49th percentile, 515 is 91st percentile, and 520 is 97th percentile.

Percentile questions usually reflect a practical concern: how unusual is my score in the national testing pool. That is why percentile benchmarks often clarify the raw score better than the total alone.

Competitiveness

What Is a Good MCAT Score for Medical School?

A good MCAT score for many MD programs starts around 510. A strong score is usually in the 512 to 517 range. A score of 518 or higher is elite by national standards.

There is no universal cutoff. Schools evaluate scores in relation to GPA, residency, institutional mission, and the rest of the file. Even so, score bands remain useful as a first-pass benchmark.

Admissions

What MCAT Score Do You Need for Medical School?

There is no single MCAT score that guarantees admission. The score you need depends on GPA, school list, state residency, and whether the target is MD or DO programs.

A 510 is not one fixed signal. With a 3.9 GPA, it reads differently than it does with a 3.2 GPA. That is why the GPA-by-MCAT grid matters. It places the score back inside a real academic profile.

Admissions committees do not read the MCAT as an isolated ranking number. In practice, GPA and MCAT still function as a combined academic signal.

Schools

What Are Average MCAT Scores by Medical School?

Average MCAT scores vary widely by school. In this dataset, reported school averages run from 502 to 523, with a median of 514. Highly selective programs are commonly in the 520 to 523 range, while many schools cluster in the low-to-mid 510s.

National averages help with orientation. School averages help with decision-making. A score that looks strong nationally can still sit below the median at a highly selective program, while the same score may be fully viable at many other schools.

Trends

Are MCAT Scores Going Up?

Recent MCAT scores are broadly stable. In 2024-2025, the applicant average was 506.1, while the average for students who enrolled was 511.8. The gap between those two figures has stayed fairly consistent across recent cycles.

The most useful long-view signal is not a sudden rise or fall in raw scores. It is the persistence of the applicant-enrollment gap. A score can sit above the applicant average and still remain below the center of the enrolled-student pool.

The gap charts below make this concrete. The MCAT advantage held by enrolled students has stayed between 5.1 and 6.0 points every cycle — it did not compress even when the applicant pool surged in 2021-22. GPA tells the same story: matriculant GPA has risen, but so has applicant GPA, keeping the spread nearly flat. The bar moves with the pool.

Applicant vs enrolled-student GPA trend

The GPA drift is smaller in raw terms, but the direction is the same.

MCAT gap: enrolled students minus applicants

This gap is the score advantage the enrolled cohort holds over the full applicant pool each year. It has held between 5.1 and 6.0 points every cycle — meaning the bar rises in lockstep with the pool.

Calculated from AAMC FACTS Table A-16 applicant and matriculant MCAT averages.

GPA gap: enrolled students minus applicants

Matriculant GPA has climbed from 3.73 to 3.79 over six cycles while the applicant average also rose — but the gap has stayed near 0.13 points. GPA is drifting up across the board, not concentrating in the enrolled group.

Calculated from AAMC FACTS Table A-16 applicant and matriculant GPA averages.

Majors

What Is the Average MCAT Score by Major?

In the 2024-2025 AAMC major-level data, Math and Statistics majors had the highest average among students who enrolled at 514.9. Physical sciences, humanities, and biological sciences also posted strong averages among students who enrolled.

Many students assume biology majors dominate MCAT performance because of course overlap. The AAMC data does not support a simple version of that claim. Several major groups perform very well once the analysis is limited to students who enrolled.

The main lesson is not that one major is best. It is that preparation, selection into the applicant pool, and academic profile matter more than the major label alone.

Demographics

How Do MCAT Scores Vary by Demographics?

MCAT averages vary by race, ethnicity, and gender in the AAMC data. Those differences should be understood in the context of unequal access to preparation, advising, time, and educational opportunity.

Demographic score differences are present in the published data. They should not be interpreted as evidence of ability differences. They reflect structural differences in preparation conditions and educational opportunity.

Retakes

Should You Retake the MCAT?

A retake can help, but the usual gain is modest. AAMC reports that repeat testers often improve by 1-3 points on a second attempt, not by a full score reset.

The AAMC 2026 admissions guide shows that retesting is common, but the expected payoff is limited. A retake makes the most sense when there is a concrete reason to expect a different result.

Outcomes

Does the MCAT Predict Medical School Success?

Yes, but most effectively when paired with GPA. AAMC validity research continues to show that MCAT scores and undergraduate GPA are associated with later licensing-exam and graduation outcomes.

The MCAT is not only an admissions screen. AAMC validity work continues to show that MCAT plus GPA is meaningfully related to later outcomes, including licensing exams and on-time graduation.

Primary sources

The percentile tables come from the AAMC percentile-rank PDF in effect from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026. The trend, major, demographic, and gender tables come from AAMC FACTS 2024-2025 data. The osteopathic benchmark comes from AACOM reporting.

About This Analysis

This page is designed as a synthesis of the current MCAT data rather than a standalone calculator. The figures above combine:

Official AAMC percentile ranks in effect from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026
AAMC FACTS applicant and enrolled-student tables for the 2024-2025 academic year
AAMC trend tables covering recent admissions cycles
AACOM osteopathic admissions context

The goal is to answer three different questions in one place:

How rare is a given score?
How competitive is that score in admissions?
How should that score change the way you build your school list or retake plan?

How To Read the Page

The article is intentionally sequenced from broad to specific:

Distribution and percentile context
Competitive score bands
GPA-adjusted admissions context
School-level benchmark data
Major, demographic, and retake interpretation

If you only need a quick answer, use the percentile lookup and the acceptance section. If you are actively building a list or deciding on a retake, the school, trend, and retake sections matter more.
