<p>washdcmom, Congrats for your S’s great achievement.</p>
<p>With his 3.55/36 from a national research university, he will most likely be very successful in this application cycle. (Will likely receive IIs and acceptances from multiple top med schools in the end.) I think his case proves that the rigor of the school’s program matters for the preparation of MCAT. (Did he go to a public high school in DC when he was in high school? If yes, it is even a greater achievement! It is not easy to go from
198 in the sophomore year in high school to 36 MCAT in the senior year in college.)</p>
<p>BTW, I like your description about setting up a “MCAT central” in the kitchen in another of your thread. It indicates your family cares very much about children’s education as well as the work ethics of your S.</p>
