Medical School Rankings/Ratings

Have any students that plan to go to medical school in the future? U.S. News & World Report has just released its annual Best Medical Schools rankings report. There were several changes made to the way they conducted their rankings this year (shout out to Robert Schaefer of FairTest for outlining each of these changes):

• The weight of MCAT scores was increased in their methodology
• Categorized the schools into 4 rating tiers rather than strict numerical ranking
• Separate rankings for research and primary care programs
• An end to the (mis)use of of imputed data from schools that refused to respond
