<p>The OOS publics in VA have a good percentage (IS portion is mid 40s for UVA and 50s for VCWU) and NY has also a decent portion (IS is mid 70s, which is below most other states). Two IS SOMs are good, with your son’s stats, he shouldn’t have any difficulty.</p>
<p>Good for your son, 3.9 is excellent. Well, my son took MCAT late January – with about 3 weeks to prepare, his practices came out at 33, 36, 36, 33, 35, so I expected somewhere in the middle. very disappointed when I learned the score. He had 2370 SAT in one try. his test taking skill was his strength and GPA was his weakness throughout school. So was surprised when I learned the score, and thought maybe the practice tests are not a good indicator. He did have to spend the two weeks at school just before the test, coming home for the test for one day. we will follow NCG’s recom on the school distribution (at least that is what I will suggest to him).</p>
