Florida Atlantic University Schmidt College of Medicine admits an entering class with an average MCAT of 515 and an average GPA of 3.85, into a program whose total enrollment is 64. If you hold Florida residency, the tuition gap here is the largest reason to look closely.
In-state tuition is $28,112 against $67,696 out of state. That is not a discount, it is a different financial decision, and it should change where this school sits on your list depending on residency.
What the numbers mean for you
Treat 515 and 3.85 as the middle of the admitted range rather than a bar to clear. Applicants are admitted on both sides of those figures, and what separates them is usually the coherence of the rest of the file.
With total enrollment at 64, this is a small program. Small classes concentrate whatever the committee is selecting for, so a generic application is read against a sharper standard than the averages alone suggest.
Who should apply
Apply if you are a Florida resident within range of those averages. The estimated total cost of attendance is $307,715, and in-state tuition is the single biggest lever on that number.
Think harder if you are out of state. You are paying $67,696 in tuition at a school whose averages are within reach of many programs, so the case has to rest on something specific you want here.
The cost, plainly
The application fee is $30, among the lower fees you will pay this cycle.
Plan against $307,715 rather than the tuition line, because that figure is what four years actually costs including living expenses.
