Summary of Application Experience
Second time applying, waitlisted at MCG and Mercer last year.
I'll echo everyone else's advice here: apply early and save your money. This is a long, drawn-out, expensive process, whether you go MD or DO. I'm just so glad that I'll never have to take the MCAT again or apply for another cycle. I'm going to be a doctor no matter what!
2/18: On Hold at MCG. Not necessarily a waitlist, but that's the most likely scenario at this point. Oh well.
3/24: Waitlist letter from MCG. Also found out that Mercer has contacted all of its accepted applicants, so I'm either waitlisted or rejected there as well.
User #16824 took the old MCAT and scored a 27 which is in the 61th percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 503 on the updated scale which is in the 61th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted User #16824’s section scores as follows:
