Seriously seeking information from anyone....and I vow that I will remain on my best behavior.
I'm curious about how adcoms analyze MCAT scores, and to what degree they actually consider the breakdowns, balance, low or comparatively lower CARS scores, and whether psych/soc at least initially will be weighted evenly. Do adcoms just look at the big number (total) and move along, or do they evaluate more closely such that one 515 (~33/34) is actually better or stronger than another 515? Will high scores on the other three cover for a low CARS? Or if the scores on the first three are equivalent with a 36/37 will some adcoms consider the overall score stronger than a 515 if the P/S is the score that brings the applicant down to a 515?
Examples are ordered CP, CARS, BB, P/S
Example #1 -- 131/127/129/128
Example #2 -- 127/126/131/131
Example #3 -- 129/129/128/129
Example #4 -- 130/124/129/132
Example #5 -- 130/129/130/126
Example #6 -- 131/130/129/125
