George Washington University finished in a tie for 67th in a ranking of best medical schools for primary care by U.S. News that examined 120 campuses around the nation.

The Washington, D.C., school’s full-time tuition was $60,250. It enrolls 728 full-time students.

U.S. News surveyed 185 medical schools engaged in primary care that were accredited either by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education or the American Osteopathic Association. A total of 120 schools responded with the data required for the study.

The schools were rated for eight indicators, including student selectivity, faculty-student ratio, primary care rate and a quality assessment.
