MD matriculants average about 512; MD applicants overall average about 506 (UConn/AAMC). That puts 510 to 515 solidly in competitive territory for most MD programs, 515+ opens most doors, and 520+ starts to enter top-school territory.
For DO programs, matriculants averaged around 500 in 2024, a notably more accessible bar. Beyond the total score, also watch your section balance — a 510 with a 124 in CARS can raise more questions from a committee than a perfectly balanced 510 would, since it signals an uneven skill set rather than a consistently strong one. This is exactly the kind of gap a tutor tiered by section-specific strength is built to find and fix before test day, not after your score report arrives.
