What the CAA Readiness Index is and how it works.

What is the CRI?

The CAA Readiness Index (CRI) is a community-contributed tool that gives prospective CAA applicants an objective understanding of how their academic profile compares to accepted students. The CRI improves continuously as more admitted applicants contribute their stats, expanding the dataset and strengthening the accuracy of its insights.

How it works

You enter your cumulative GPA, science GPA, and test score (MCAT or GRE). The CRI turns those numbers into a single score from 0–100 by comparing you to real students who were accepted into CAA programs.

Your grades and your test score count equally, and your final score shows where you land among accepted students. A score of 50 means you sit right in the middle of the accepted students in our data.

Who built this?

The CRI was founded by a team of medical and pre-health students who believed CAA applicants deserved the same quality of data-informed guidance that exists for medical school and other health professions. It is maintained independently and is not affiliated with any CAA program or professional organization.

Important disclaimer

The CRI is an educational tool, not an admissions predictor. A high or low CRI score does not guarantee or preclude admission to any program. Admissions decisions involve many factors beyond GPA and test scores including clinical experience, interviews, personal statements, and letters of recommendation.
