Summary of Application Experience
I applied to 19 schools, got 19 secondaries and 7 interviews, which led to 5 waitlists. Finally, in early June I got my acceptance to VCU and took my name off the rest of the waitlists. Around March I began sending monthly updates to all the schools where I was still waitlisted. I also continued calling schools that had neither invited me for an interview nor rejected me until I had answers from all of them.
User #41 took the old MCAT and scored a 30 which is in the 79th percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 509 on the updated scale which is in the 80th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted User #41’s section scores as follows:
User #41 scored a 10 on the Biological Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 127 on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems.
User #41 scored a 11 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 128 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
