MCAT scores and advice

letsgo123 · 06-20-2009, 09:11 AM

Out of curiousity, since there are many high school students on CC that are exceptionally smart, I wonder if the same is true for college-level premed students.

Thus, please post your MCAT scores and other stats, and add along any advice you feel would be helpful to upcoming premed students.

Thanks!

General premed advice.

Not sure I see the point of this thread. I think it's safe to assume most premeds on this site are on the upper end, but it runs the gamut, same as all the HS students on this site. I don't see how "posting our stats" would be relevant to anything here or help anybody; frankly the idea seems pretty silly to me.

But if you must know:

GPA: 6.00
MCAT: 47

I heard Chuck Norris got a 78 on his MCAT.

Chuck Norris was exempt.

I would but I'm also planning on curing cancer (sorry oncologists) so I hope it'll make up for my sub par score.

Chuck Norris wrote the MCAT. By himself. Get it right.

GS, you are the one out of luck. I have already cured cancer.

I guess that often times people are too shy or uncomfortable about posting their stats (GPA nad MCAT scores) on a public forum.

Hmmm...An interesting question here: Why are high schoolers "better" at publishing their "brag sheets," especially immediately after they have just been admitted, wait-listed or rejected by colleges? The older we get, the more privacy we need? Or more humble we become? Any psycology major here can help decipher why is this?

Just think about it: If you have ever observed preschoolers, they seem to have very little problem about bragging about anything, including something like "my brother/parent/etc. is stronger than yours." :-)

That's probably part of it. Part of it is also probably the greater anonymity in being a college applicant. Going to Harvard means you're 1 of 1600 undergrads -- but going to Duke Med means you're one of 90 students. Much easier to identify.

Why is it uncomfortable to post stats? Just wondering. I don't think anyone browsing this forum would really be have the resources of everyone in duke med that got a certain score on the MCATs or something of the sort.

so how GPA and MCAT driven is the admission for Med school. From what i have heard, you can sit on you butt (no EC, average Recs, and a dull essay) as long as you have a 3.6GPA and a 36+ on MCAT.
