So while you can’t use the SAT to predict an MCAT score with any sort of precision, it probably is true that certain high SAT scores and HS transcripts can tell you that somebody is probably going to break 30, which is about the avg. for a lot of the BS/MD programs. Whether he’ll get a 32 vs. a 39 isn’t relevant to these decision-makers because that’s above their average anyway.

They’re trying to use that as a selling point to lure overqualified students to their programs. Apparently it works pretty well.
