About CRI

Why we built this. Med school applicants have had good admissions data for years. CAA applicants didn't.

Students who got into CAA programs share their stats with us. We use those numbers to show you how your own grades and test score compare.

What is the CRI?

The CAA Readiness Index (CRI) shows you how your grades and test score compare to students who were accepted into CAA programs. Those students shared their own numbers with us. The more people who share, the more we have to compare you against.

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?

A team of medical and pre-health students built the CRI. Applicants to medical school have had good data to work from for years. CAA applicants did not, so we made it. We run the site ourselves, and we are not connected to any CAA program or professional organization.

Important disclaimer

The CRI is a learning tool, not a prediction. A high score does not mean you will get in, and a low score does not mean you will not. Programs look at much more than grades and test scores, including your clinical experience, your interview, your personal statement, and your letters of recommendation.
