CRI Calculator

The CRI compares your academic performance data (cumulative GPA, science GPA and MCAT or GRE score) to data provided by successful CAA applicants. This creates a numerical ranking (from 0 to 100), showing where you fall prior to submitting an application.

Data was self-reported by CAA applicants whose applications were accepted across many application years. Data was anonymized and aggregated to maintain applicant confidentiality.

You will be scored based on three components: your cumulative GPA, your science GPA, and your test score (GRE/MCAT). Each component is compared to all accepted applicant data, and your grades and your test score each count for half. The results are then turned into a single numerical value ranging from 0 to 100. If you score a 50, this indicates that your academic values (cumulative GPA, science GPA and test score) place you in the middle of all accepted applicant data.

No. The CRI only compares your academic data to that of accepted applicants. It does not take into consideration hours of clinical experience, letters of reference, interviews or any other information that programs consider when making their decisions. The CRI can serve as just another resource to aid in your decision-making process, but it should never be relied upon as the sole determining factor.
