I want to preface this by saying that I have not taken the MCAT yet; I plan on taking the exam in April 2017. Anyhow, I'm having a rather light week, and I spent some time putting together an early list of schools that I think match my stats. I really only considered how friendly the schools are to OOS applicants, how well my numbers match up right now, and I put some thought into the location.
I don't want to elongate my post by typing out all my experiences, so I'll just say that by my estimation, they would probably be considered average to above average (I'd be happy to expand on my experiences if anyone cares to know).
