MCAT Overall 33 VR 7

[cwrig14]

I've been taking full length practice tests regularly as my test date approaches. I've consistently scored 12-13 on the science sections and 9-10 on the VR section. On my last test I scored a 7 on the VR and 13s on each science section. I believe 33 to be a competitive score, but how much of a red flag would a 7-8 on the VR raise?

If your overall is high enough (33+) an 8 will slide. If it's in the low 30's though you really need to shoot for a 10. Anything below an 8 will get you screened out of a lot of places and is a big red flag unless you get like 36+ or something.

It's hard to say. If English is your second language then it might be slightly more acceptable. If the rest of your stats/activities are above average you could probably slide by. Look at the 10th percentile VR score for the schools you're looking at on MSAR.

Isn't this more a WAMC.
