Illinois Medical Schools

There are 7 Illinois medical schools and only one institution is located outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (Southern Illinois University).

Listed for each school is the average for accepted students in a few key categories. First, I know everyone is concerned about the numbers so I have included the GPA broken down by overall and science.

Going further, I couldn't forget the MCAT so you can see how competitive each medical school is along with the average combined score and sectional score.

Lastly, financing can be an issue, so you have access to the total cost of attendance per year (before financial aid).
