LizzyM Score Calculator
What is the LizzyM Score?
The LizzyM Score is a widely used metric among medical school applicants to evaluate their academic competitiveness. It combines two critical components: your Grade Point Average (GPA) and Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) score. The formula for calculating the LizzyM Score is:
- LizzyM Score = GPA × 10 + Old MCAT Equivalent
- For MCAT scores taken after 2015, a conversion is applied to align with the older scoring scale.
This score provides a quick numerical representation of your academic profile, helping you determine your competitiveness for medical school admissions. However, it should not be the sole criterion for evaluating your application.
