SUCCESS TIPS FROM THE MASTERS

Bret Ribotsky: What’s going on with the significant reduction in applications to podiatry schools? How is this going to affect the APMA’s goal of parity? 

 

Dr. John Mattiacci

 

John Mattiacci: This year, we had approximately 900 people apply to all the schools in podiatry. Temple medical school had over 5,000 applicants. Regarding parity, we will never have parity because we have a different degree. Medical school applicants have an average MCAT score of 32+ and a GPA of 3.65; podiatric medical school students have an average MCAT of 25 and a GPA of 3.2. We are not the same. However, we all should be proud that podiatrists provide a great service and earn a good living.
