Imagine scoring a 520 on the MCAT. You're ecstatic. That's the f***ing 97th percentile.

想象一下，你在 MCAT 考試中取得了 520 分的好成績。你會欣喜若狂。那是他媽的第 97 百分位數。

情態副詞

You can already see yourself walking across the stage at Harvard Medical School, graciously accepting your degree before sailing forth into a prestigious and lucrative career.

你已經可以看到自己走過哈佛大學醫學院的舞臺，親切地接受學位證書，然後揚帆起航，踏上聲譽卓著、收入豐厚的職業生涯。

But then, reality hits. You check the median MCAT scores for top medical schools, and your heart sinks. Your hard-earned 520 might not even be competitive at these top-ranked schools.

但是，現實來臨了。您查看了頂尖醫學院的 MCAT 分數中位數，您的心一下子沉了下去。你辛辛苦苦掙來的 520 分，在這些排名靠前的學校可能根本沒有競爭力。

Dr. Jubbal, MedSchoolInsiders.com. The brutal truth? At the 10 most elite medical schools in the US, a 520 MCAT score, a score that puts you ahead of 97% of all test takers, still leaves you just below the median. And not only that, 3 points below the median for the number one school on our list. Can you guess which school has a median matriculant MCAT of 523? You may be thinking Harvard or Stanford, but you'd be way off.

Jubbal 博士，MedSchoolInsiders.com。殘酷的事實是什麼？在美國 10 所最頂尖的醫學院中，520 分的 MCAT 成績雖然能讓你超越 97% 的考生，但你的分數仍略低於中位數。不僅如此，我們榜單上排名第一的學校還比中位數低 3 分。你能猜到哪所學校的入學 MCAT 中位數是 523 分嗎？您可能會想到哈佛大學或斯坦福大學，但您可能想錯了。

The school with the highest median MCAT is guaranteed to surprise you.

MCAT 中位數最高的學校一定會讓你大吃一驚。

But before we dive into our countdown, let's talk about why MCAT scores carry so much weight at these elite institutions. Unlike schools focused on serving underserved communities, which often place greater emphasis on mission alignment and life experience, these top-tier research powerhouses use MCAT scores as an initial filter.

但在進入倒計時之前，我們先來談談為什麼 MCAT 分數在這些精英院校中佔有如此重要的地位。這些頂級研究強校通常更看重使命一致性和生活經驗，而服務於服務不足社區的學校則不同，它們將 MCAT 分數作為初步篩選標準。

They can afford to be incredibly selective because they receive thousands of applications from the country's highest achieving students. Remember, these median scores represent the middle of the pack, which means half the students scored even higher than these already astronomical numbers. At some of these schools, students with 524s and 525s are commonplace despite the fact that these scores are achieved by fewer than 1% of all test takers.

他們有能力做到極其挑剔，因為他們會收到成千上萬來自全國成績最好的學生的申請。請記住，這些中位數分數代表的是中游水準，這意味著有一半學生的分數比這些已經是天文數字的分數還要高。在其中一些學校，儘管只有不到 1%的考生能取得 524 分和 525 分的成績，但取得這些成績的學生卻屢見不鮮。

But here's the thing. While your MCAT score needs to be exceptional to even get your foot in the door at these schools, it's still just one piece of the puzzle. Every year, the AAMC publishes official data showing applicants who scored a 525 on the MCAT and earned a 4.0 GPA who still didn't get into medical school because the rest of their application wasn't strong enough. Strong applicants must also show breadth and depth across extracurriculars, gain stellar letters of recommendation, and clearly articulate why they're the perfect fit for a school's mission. So what are the most difficult medical schools to get into? Keep in mind that this ranking is based purely on MCAT medians. There are many factors that make a medical school competitive, and what's challenging for one applicant might be a piece of cake for another based on their unique background, experiences, and strengths.

但問題是雖然您的 MCAT 成績必須出類拔萃才能進入這些學校的大門，但它仍然只是拼圖中的一塊。每年，AAMC 都會公佈官方數據，顯示 MCAT 考試成績達到 525 分、GPA 達到 4.0 的申請者仍未能進入醫學院，原因是他們的其他申請材料不夠有力。優秀的申請者還必須在課外活動中展現出自己的廣度和深度，獲得優秀的推薦信，並清楚地闡述自己為什麼最適合學校的使命。那麼，哪些醫學院最難申請呢？請記住，這一排名純粹基於 MCAT 中位數。醫學院的競爭力取決於很多因素，對一個申請人來說具有挑戰性的事情，對另一個申

There are 10 schools on this list, but many of them share the same median MCAT score, so they're broken down into 3 clusters of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We'll begin with 3rd place, which is a tie between 4 prestigious medical schools. 2nd place holds 5 schools, but only one claims the top spot with the most intimidating MCAT median score in the country. In 3rd place is Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis with a median MCAT score of 521.

這份榜單上共有 10 所學校，但其中許多學校的 MCAT 中位數分數相同，是以將它們分為第 1、第 2 和第 3 組。我們首先來看第 3 名，4 所著名醫學院校並列第 3 名。第 2 名有 5 所學校，但只有一所學校憑藉全美最令人生畏的 MCAT 中位數分數榮登榜首。第 3 名是位於聖路易斯的華盛頓大學醫學院，MCAT 中位數為 521 分。

A 521 puts you in the 97th percentile, meaning you scored better than 97 out of 100 test takers.

521 分使您處於第 97 百分位，這意味著您的成績優於 100 名應試者中的 97 人。

Located in St. Louis, Missouri, WashU is renowned for its research excellence and consistently ranks among the top medical schools in the nation. The school is particularly strong in biomedical research, with many students going on to competitive residencies and academic careers.

華盛頓大學位於密蘇里州聖路易斯市，以其卓越的研究而聞名，一直名列全美頂尖醫學院之列。該校在生物醫學研究方面尤為突出，許多學生都進入了競爭激烈的住院醫師培訓和學術生涯。

Also in 3rd place, with a median MCAT of 521, is the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. Feinberg is known for its innovative curriculum and strong emphasis on early clinical exposure. The school's location in Chicago provides students with access to diverse patient populations and world-class medical institutions. Johns Hopkins University

位於伊利諾伊州芝加哥的西北範伯格醫學院（Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine）以 MCAT 中位數 521 分排名第三。範伯格醫學院以其創新的課程設置和對早期臨床接觸的高度重視而聞名。學校位於芝加哥，學生可以接觸到不同的病人群體和世界一流的醫療機構。約翰霍普金斯大學

School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland also ties for 3rd with a median MCAT of 521.

馬里蘭州巴爾的摩醫學院也以 MCAT 中位數 521 分並列第三。

Hopkins needs no introduction. It's synonymous with medical excellence and groundbreaking research. The school has produced more Nobel Prize winners in medicine than any other institution.

霍普金斯大學無需多言。它是卓越醫學和突破性研究的代名詞。該校培養出的諾貝爾醫學獎得主比任何其他機構都要多。

If you're dreaming of a career in academic medicine or research, Hopkins is the gold standard.

如果你夢想從事學術醫學或研究工作，霍普金斯大學就是你的黃金標準。

Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts ties for 3rd with a median MCAT score of 521.

位於馬薩諸塞州波士頓的哈佛大學醫學院以 MCAT 中位數 521 分並列第三。

Harvard is integrated with multiple teaching hospitals, including Massachusetts General and

哈佛大學與多家教學醫院進行了整合，其中包括馬薩諸塞州綜合醫院和哈佛大學醫學院。

Brigham and Women's Hospital. Students benefit from access to some of the world's most advanced medical facilities and research labs. Now we move on to our next cluster, 5 schools that all share the same exceptionally high median MCAT score of 522.

布里格姆婦女醫院。學生可以使用世界上最先進的醫療設施和研究實驗室。現在，我們進入下一個學校群，5 所學校的 MCAT 中位數均為 522 分。

The Mayo Clinic-Alec School of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota has a median MCAT score of 522.

位於明尼蘇達州羅切斯特市的梅奧診所-阿萊克醫學院的 MCAT 中位數為 522 分。

Mayo Clinic's medical school benefits from being integrated with one of the world's most prestigious healthcare systems. Students learn from physicians who treat incredibly complex cases and conduct cutting-edge research. The Mayo name carries enormous weight in the medical community.

梅奧診所的醫學院得益於與世界上最負盛名的醫療保健系統之一的整合。學生們向治療極其複雜的病例和開展尖端研究的醫生學習。梅奧的名字在醫學界有著舉足輕重的地位。

To put Mayo Clinic's 522 score in perspective, it's essential to note that this is a 99th percentile score. That means if you scored a 522, you performed better than 99% of all MCAT test takers. According to the AAMC, more than 85,000 students take the MCAT each year. A 99th percentile score means that only about 850 students nationwide achieve a score of 522 or higher annually. You don't achieve a score like this based solely on smarts or even hard work.

要正確看待梅奧診所的 522 分，必須注意這是百分位數第 99 位的分數。也就是說，如果你考出了 522 分，那麼你的成績就比所有 MCAT 考生中的 99% 都要好。根據美國醫學會的數據，每年有超過 85,000 名學生參加 MCAT 考試。第 99 百分位數的分數意味著全國每年只有約 850 名學生取得 522 分或更高的分數。要取得這樣的成績，單憑聰明才智甚至勤奮努力是遠遠不夠的。

It's a combination of strategy and precise planning. We compiled the learnings of dozens of insiders who scored in the 99th percentile to create an ultimate MCAT study plan that provides a comprehensive study schedule based on where you plan to take the MCAT, as well as strategies to ensure you stay on track. It's completely free and available in the video description.

這是策略與精確計劃的結合。我們彙集了數十位分數在 99% 以上的業內人士的經驗，創建了一個終極 MCAT 學習計劃，根據您計劃參加 MCAT 考試的地點提供了一個全面的學習計劃表，並提供了確保您按計劃學習的策略。該計劃完全免費，可在視頻描述中獲取。

Also in second place with a median MCAT of 522 is Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in

同樣以 MCAT 中位數 522 分位居第二的還有美國的範德堡大學醫學院。

Nashville, Tennessee. Vanderbilt combines Southern charm with world-class medical education. The school is known for its collaborative environment and strong support system for students. Plus,

田納西州，納什維爾。範德堡將南方的魅力與世界一流的醫學教育相結合。學校以其協作環境和強大的學生支持系統而聞名。另外

納什維爾不斷髮展的生物技術領域和範德比爾特大學的研究實力使其成為吸引未來醫生科學家的目的地。新澤西州耶魯大學醫學院

Haven, Connecticut has a median MCAT of 522. Yale operates unlike any other medical school in the country. It's one of only a handful of U.S. medical schools with true pass-fail grading.

康涅狄格州黑文的 MCAT 中位數為 522。耶魯大學與美國其他任何醫學院都不同。它是美國僅有的幾所真正實行及格-不及格評分的醫學院之一。

No honors, high pass, or internal rankings for both preclinical years and core clerkships.

臨床前實習和核心實習均無榮譽、高分通過或內部排名。

There's no AOA medical honor society, no shelf exams, and even anatomy class attendance is optional. Students take just 4 anatomy tests total and foundational science exams only every 8 weeks, creating an unusually low-stress, non-competitive environment. This unique structure allows students unprecedented flexibility to pursue other interests.

這裡沒有 AOA 醫學榮譽協會，沒有架子考試，甚至連解剖課的出勤率都是可選的。學生總共只需參加 4 次解剖學考試，每 8 周才進行一次基礎科學考試，從而創造了一個異常低壓力、非競爭性的環境。這種獨特的結構使學生能夠前所未有地靈活追求其他興趣。

About 50% of Yale medical students take advantage of the flex year, an additional tuition-free year between their 3rd and 4th year for research, joint degrees, or clinical work. Students can audit classes across Yale's other schools, from management to law to arts and sciences, and participate in interdisciplinary programs like the Solomon Center for Health Law and Policy.

約50%的耶魯醫科學生利用彈性學年，即在第三和第四學年之間的額外一年免學費，用於研究、聯合學位或臨床工作。學生可以旁聽耶魯大學其他學院的課程，從管理、法律到藝術和科學，還可以參加所羅門衛生法律和政策中心等跨學科項目。

The University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia also ties with a median MCAT of 522. U Penn's medical school holds the distinction of being the first ever medical school in the U.S., founded in 1765, and of being home to the first hospital built by a medical school. It's renowned for its robust clinical training and extensive research opportunities. The school's location in Philadelphia provides access to diverse patient populations and multiple teaching hospitals. And our last, second place school, at 522, is Columbia University Vagelis College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.

位於費城的賓夕法尼亞大學佩雷爾曼醫學院也以 MCAT 中位數 522 分並列第一。賓夕法尼亞大學醫學院成立於 1765 年，是美國有史以來第一所醫學院，也是第一所由醫學院建造的醫院。該校以其強大的臨床培訓和廣泛的研究機會而聞名。學校位於費城，可以接觸到不同的病人群體和多家教學醫院。最後，排名第二的學校是位於紐約市的哥倫比亞大學瓦格里斯內科和外科醫學院（522分）。

Columbia's location in Manhattan provides unparalleled clinical exposure and networking opportunities. Columbia was the first medical school to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need with scholarships for qualifying students. The move to offer such significant debt relief is a major contributor to this institution's competitiveness, and though it has been a competitive school for many years, this has no doubt made it even more desirable to applicants.

哥倫比亞大學位於曼哈頓，為學生提供了無與倫比的臨床機會和人際交往機會。哥倫比亞大學是第一所為符合條件的學生提供 100%獎學金的醫學院。儘管哥倫比亞大學多年來一直是一所競爭激烈的學校，但此舉無疑使其更受申請者青睞。

And finally, claiming the number one spot with the highest median MCAT score of 523 is the NYU

最後，紐約大學以 523 分的最高 MCAT 中位數排名第一。

Grossman School of Medicine in New York City. The school offers world-class faculty, cutting-edge research facilities, and access to NYU Langone Health, one of the nation's premier academic medical centers. NYU's accelerated three-year MD program attracts top students who want to fast-track their medical careers. That said, while NYU was a strong program, it did not lead the pack in terms of applicant statistics. What skyrocketed its competitiveness is the fact that, in 2018, just like Columbia, NYU announced that it would offer free tuition. But the difference? NYU offered it to all current and future MD students regardless of need. That's right, regardless of need, which means no red tape and no extra essays. That's like offering a $200,000 bonus to any student who's accepted. Since implementing this unprecedented tuition-free model, the school's appeal has surged, becoming one of the most competitive medical schools in the country with the highest average MCAT score. After all, what med student couldn't use an extra $200,000?

格羅斯曼醫學院位於紐約市。該學院擁有世界一流的師資隊伍、尖端的研究設施，並與紐約大學朗貢健康中心（NYU Langone Health）--全美首屈一指的學術醫療中心--相連接。紐約大學的三年制速成醫學博士課程吸引了希望快速進入醫學生涯的頂尖學生。儘管如此，紐約大學雖然是一個實力雄厚的項目，但在申請者統計數據方面並不佔優勢。使其競爭力飆升的是，2018 年，紐約大學與哥倫比亞大學一樣，宣佈將提供免費學費。但不同的是？紐約大學向所有在讀和未來攻讀醫學博士的學生提供免學費，無論他們是否需要。沒錯，不分需求，這

A high MCAT score is absolutely crucial for gaining admission to these elite medical schools, but it's not everything. It's your entire application package that will ultimately determine your success. These institutions are looking for future leaders in medicine, students who will push the boundaries of medical knowledge, become department chairs, and win Nobel Prizes. If your heart is set on one of these schools, you must approach every aspect of your application strategically with passion and dedication. That means not just studying for the MCAT, but mastering it. Do some students get accepted with lower MCAT scores?

MCAT 高分絕對是進入這些醫學名校的關鍵，但這並不是全部。最終決定你成功與否的是你的整個申請材料。這些院校正在尋找未來醫學界的領軍人物，這些學生將推動醫學知識的發展，成為系主任，並獲得諾貝爾獎。如果你一心想要進入這些學校，就必須滿懷激情，全身心地投入到申請策略的方方面面。這意味著不僅要學習 MCAT 考試，還要掌握它。有些學生 MCAT 分數較低也能被錄取嗎？

Absolutely. These are only the medians after all. But a killer MCAT score will make your life easier and it will open doors for you. Scoring in the 99th percentile isn't luck, but it's also not about smarts. Anyone with the right study plan and test-taking tactics can earn a killer score.

當然可以。畢竟這些只是中位數。但是，MCAT 高分會讓你的生活更輕鬆，也會為你敞開大門。取得第 99 百分位數的成績不是運氣，但也與聰明無關。只要有正確的學習計劃和應試策略，任何人都能取得理想的分數。
