<p>**Your stats give me hope, I’m taking the MCAT in less than 2 weeks…</p>
<p>Could you give us your general impression of the age distribution of UCLA med students? I’m concerned that being too young might be a disadvantage if a lot of people are taking at least one gap year.**</p>
<p>Lol Your head is being filed by
a) people who are lying about their score
b) only the people who did well on the MCAT</p>
<p>The MCAT is pretty hard, given that you guys have only dealt with the SAT. This will be the first exam that will frustrate you because some questions have no good answer… only the least crappy one. </p>
<p>Don’t worry about what you have heard here are the stats for 2010</p>
<p>The average MCAT scores
verbal reasoning 8.6
physical sciences 8.8
biological sciences is 9.1 </p>
<p>Good scores on the MCAT are considered to be above a 10 in each category</p>
<p>The average score on the MCAT of those students who were accepted to a medical school was a 32 in 2010. Bottomline you need at least a 30 for your MCAT score not to hinder your chances of getting into a med school. Anything above that is extra points, anything below will really hurt your chances of getting in.</p>
