MedTrack helps premed students track their progress toward medical school by combining their self-reported study and experience data with public school-level data. This page explains the calculations behind the metrics in the app.
MedTrack Score is a 0–100 composite score representing your overall premed readiness across multiple pillars:
Each pillar is weighted based on its typical importance in medical school admissions. The score updates as you log data.
Pillar weights: The exact weighting formula used in the iOS app reflects typical admissions priorities. MCAT and GPA carry the highest weight, followed by clinical experience, then other experience categories and school list balance.
The Projected MCAT range is an estimate based on:
We use a statistical model that converts your practice accuracy to an estimated scaled MCAT score range (e.g., 508 — 514). The range widens when you have limited practice data and narrows as you log more blocks.
Disclaimer: Projected MCAT is an ESTIMATE based on self-reported practice data, not a prediction of actual MCAT performance. Real MCAT scores depend on many factors not captured in practice data (test-day conditions, stamina, content gaps that practice didn't surface, etc.).
Practice Accuracy = total correct / total questions across all logged practice blocks.
Updated whenever you log a new block. Section-level accuracy (when shown) is computed per section using the same formula scoped to that section's blocks.
MedTrack pulls school data from public, primary sources where available:
Data is refreshed periodically. Some figures may lag behind the most recent admissions cycle.
Acceptance rate = (matriculants / total applicants) for the most recent published admissions cycle.
Acceptance rates marked "Not disclosed" reflect schools that do not publish this figure publicly.
For DO schools, application volumes are typically smaller than MD schools, which affects rate calculations.
Tuition figures are pulled from official school sources where available and aggregated public datasets where not. Figures represent estimated annual tuition for the most recent academic year published.
Note: Tuition figures do NOT include fees, housing, meals, transportation, books, or other cost-of-attendance components. Use the school's published cost of attendance for total expenses.
