Summary of Application Experience
I am going to take the MCAT in May and submit my application in June/July.
Having just started an MCAT review class, I can't really estimate what my MCAT score will be. However, assuming I get a score in the 28-31 range, which schools do you think I should apply to considering my GPA, extracurriculars, and hypothetical MCAT score? The above listed schools are schools that I am currently considering.
User #16801 took the old MCAT and scored a 3 which is in the 0 percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 472 on the updated scale which is in the -1st percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted User #16801’s section scores as follows:
User #16801 scored a 1 on the Biological Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 118 on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems.
User #16801 scored a 1 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 118 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
User #16801 scored a 1 on the Verbal Reasoning section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 118 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
