What is her major, does she have her pre req’s complete? Gpa would make her attractive. But the MCAT score would need to increase. What does her academic advisor say?My grand daughter is a junior at Rutgers. After five semesters her GPA is 4.0. She wants to go to medical school and has a MCAT score of 502.

Keep in mind that Rutgers has two medical schools with separate admissions committees. The New Brunswick school is Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and the Newark school is New Jersey Medical School. She should apply to both.My grand daughter is a junior at Rutgers.

We do not have any minimum requirements. For the entering class of 2020, the average overall GPA was 3.7, and the average MCAT was a 514.
NJMS gives equal consideration to in-state and out-of-state applicants.

This link has more granular information. There seem to be more women applicants and matriculated.
In 2028, the two Rutgers medical schools will merge into one school, Rutgers Medical SchoolThat is the Newark one no? RWJ is more prestigious and I think preferable to be in NB.
4.0 GPA hall way through Junior year is great. She should definitely take MCAT again to see if she can bump up some. She likely will. Best of luck to her.My grand daughter is a junior at Rutgers. After five semesters her GPA is 4.0. She wants to go to medical school and has a MCAT score of 502. What are her chances of getting into Rutgers Medical School?
Controversial take here but if she is a minority she will probably get into RWJMS with those numbers. If she is Asian/Indian or white she will probably have to raise the MCAT score.
That is the plan but the merger will only impact the incoming students. The students already in school will graduate from RWJM or NJMSIn 2028, the two Rutgers medical schools will merge into one school, Rutgers Medical School

I hope this works better than merging the Camden and Newark law schools. But there's a key difference -- RWJ is a lot closer to NJMS.That is the plan but the merger will only impact the incoming students. The students already in school will graduate from RWJM or NJMS
I think the US Supreme Court put an end to that with a ruling last year.Controversial take here but if she is a minority she will probably get into RWJMS with those numbers. If she is Asian/Indian or white she will probably have to raise the MCAT score.
No impact at Rutgers.I think the US Supreme Court put an end to that with a ruling last year.
Last I checked, RU is in the US, so the ruling covers the university and its medical schools. They can write anything on a website, but their policies must comply with the Supreme Court's ruling.No impact at Rutgers.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, in Virginia was accused of violating that ruling .Last I checked, RU is in the US, so the ruling covers the university and its medical schools.

There is going to be plenty of lawsuits to enforce the ruling. Academia needs to get right, but it will be a struggle for them.Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, in Virginia was accused of violating that ruling .

I believe you're right, some schools will push the envelope and the lawsuits will be the result until the schools that try to get around that ruling are forced to comply or find a way to convince the Courts that their admission policies are race based but based on financial needs that affect all that apply for admittance.There is going to be plenty of lawsuits to enforce the ruling. Academia needs to get right, but it will be a struggle for them.
So right now it is illegal for schools, etc. to adopt measures that explicitly favor minorities in admissions, but it's OK to adopt measures that, while neutral on their face, have the effect of increasing minority admissions. In other words, "disparate treatment" is illegal; "disparate impact" is not. This is a long-standing distinction in the constitutional law regarding racial discrimination; it is the same standard used to judge allegations of unconstitutional discrimination against racial minorities.Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, in Virginia was accused of violating that ruling .

I wouldn't take this too seriously. It wouldn't surprise me if no one has looked at this statement since the Supreme Court's decision. The important thing is what they do, not what they say.No impact at Rutgers.
The mission of our admissions committee is to select a diverse class of talented students who vigorously contribute to and care for the school community and society as a whole. In evaluating candidates we give balanced consideration to a range of attributes such as academic excellence, lived experiences, resilience, personal growth and maturity. We consider various other dimensions of an applicant such as socioeconomic status, languages spoken, gender, race and ethnicity. Qualities of integrity, humanism, and passion are considered as these factors may influence an applicant's potential to succeed in medical school and are critical to their growth as physician-leaders. We are committed to fostering diversity in medicine and actively recruit a class that resembles the diversity of the patient population.
Thank you for your interest in Rutgers New Jersey Medical School!

Her MCAT score will likely need to be a little higher. I don’t know if it’s still done this way, but NJMS has an early decision option.My grand daughter is a junior at Rutgers. After five semesters her GPA is 4.0. She wants to go to medical school and has a MCAT score of 502. What are her chances of getting into Rutgers Medical School?
There’s a very good chance they will. NYU did something similar in 2021-2022 and the average MCAT is now around 523.The Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York received a $1.0 Billion Gift from a former faculty member and board chair to provide Free Tuition to all current and future Medical Students accepted into Albert Einstein. Tuition at Albert Einstein is about $60,000 per year. The donation comes from Ruth Gottesman according to the WSJ.
Albert Einstein College of Medicine had an MCAT Score 516.
Harvard Medical School has an MCAT score of 521.
I wonder if Albert Einstein College of Medicine will have MCAT scores greater than Harvard in a few years.
NJ is one of the most diverse states. RU is going to be diverse so long as it's the state university of NJ and the best public U in the Northeast, much to the chagrin of the detractors of both RU and diversity.
