hahaha.... hence the repeated warnings on it that it's nothing more than a tool. Part of why I put up the poll and all was to get a better feel for how well the tool actually predicts scores and further calibrate it. If people put in the effort to study and all, it should give results that are at least close to what they could get. I did go ahead and fix it a bit though to give slightly lower predictions.

  • For the PS, cover Why MD? What skills/ECs will make you a successful physician? Proofread.
