Each year the US News ranks the top medical schools in the nation. They determine the rankings by issuing surveys. They grade the schools on their quality, residency directors, research activity, research activity per faculty member, primary-care rate, student selectivity, mean MCAT score, mean undergraduate GPA, acceptance rate, faculty resources, overall rank, and specialty rankings.
