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 Washington
Of the 2 MD programs in Washington in our catalog, 2 are rated as giving strong preference to Washington residents. The table shows admissions figures only where they were confirmed on the school's own published pages (2 of 2); the rest are left blank rather than estimated, and any unconfirmed figure on a card above is labeled as such.
| Program | In-state preference | In-state share of class | MCAT | GPA | Class size | Data check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Washington School of Medicine | Strong | 94% | — | — | 280 | Checked against the school's own page, September 13, 2026 |

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.
