MCAT and GPA figures are labeled median or mean when the school's own published class profile confirms them, and “unconfirmed” when it has not yet been checked — the school's page cites the source. In-state preference tags are NextGen MedPrep's rating, not school policy, unless marked “published policy”.

Residents vs out-of-state applicants in Georgia
Of the 5 MD programs in Georgia in our catalog, 3 are rated as giving strong preference to Georgia residents. Mercer University School of Medicine publishes a policy of considering residents only, so out-of-state applicants are not considered there. The table shows admissions figures only where they were confirmed on the school's own published pages (5 of 5); the rest are left blank rather than estimated, and any unconfirmed figure on a card above is labeled as such.

The in-state preference column is NextGen MedPrep's rating from each school's matriculation pattern and admissions guidance, not a school policy, except where a row says “published policy”. A dash means the school has not published that figure in a form we could confirm. Sources for every confirmed figure are linked on the program's profile.
