Is 240+ a good MCAT score for OB/GYN?
240+ looks like a very solid score in OB/GYN, with the median being 230. Range programs do NOT typically offer interviews: 200-220 seems to be the minimum threshold we would recommend for having a good chance at enough interviews. If you’re below 200-220 range, we suggest having a back-up specialty you could consider.
