Hi folks. Hoping to get this thread started for 2018-19 med school parents and applicants. I posted this as well on last years 2017-2018 thread. We are just starting this journey. My son is planning on submitting his primaries any day now. He just took the MCAT’s last Saturday, and is feeling really bad that he didn’t do well. He has a very high gpa 3.97 and great extra curriculars, but feel is poor MCAT score will cause him to not be accepted. Trying now to research for schools that might be okay taking a lower MCAT (guessing close to 502) and high gpa. Can any of those parents who have been through or currently on this journey help with how to research schools to best apply and put his time into completing secondary? Seems both MSAR and US news World Compass and searching on the schools website is what we need to do. Any thoughts what particularly to look for best fit? It’s hard that most schools just give you average gpa and average mcat. My son told me to look at scatter plots of admitted students, but it doesn’t seem they are available for each school. Trying to see which schools have accepted students with a low MCAT score. Son is already planning on studying and trying to take it again.
