<p>D. was accepted to couple top 20s’, she was NOT invited to interviews at U of Mich / Chicago, waitlisted at Pitt. U of Mich actually completely ignored her application, did not hear from them at all, while Chicago sent rejection few hours after recieving her application fee. She had 3.98 / 35 with great number of long-lasting (over span of several years) Med. EC’s and other EC’s in area of personal interests, great leadership positions. You can drow your conclusions from her adn other people’s experiences.<br>
For MCAT estimation, on average, real MCAT is 2 points below the best practice MCAT score and within 2 points of ACT. There are exceptions, but it was true for my D’s MCAT score.</p>
