The GPA does not need to be that high, but Jefferson seems to have a strict MCAT subsection cut-off--read the notes in the following profile from last year (not mine):http://www.mdapplicants.com/viewprofile.php?id=2364
They enforce that strict cutoff. I wrote to the dean of admissions last year, and she told me there are no exceptions.

actually, they do NOT average MCATs. i emailed the associate dean about this. because i really need them to average my scores... but.... no love for me...
It's real messed up how they sent secondaries to a few applicants with <8s and then rejected then after they cashed the fee check. This is assuming those profiles on mdapplicants.com are real and those cut-offs aren't new.

You should ask them about their cutoffs before they jack your 80 bucks.

i wonder what my average is going to be... ****..

That profile states 11, 5, 8! There's no way thats real!
Is it possible I can get a conditional acceptance?

I havent heard anything either. My stats are a bit below their averages (Not much though)... and I have at least an 8 in every section. Complete since July. 🙁
My stats are above their average and I havent heard anything since September. When I called to try and schedule my interview around my Drexel interview they said I was still being reviewed which I find hard to believe. So I don't know whats the deal with them?

Yes, we spoke to the Dean of Admissions at the end of October at length. They apply strict cutoffs - no subsection score less than an 8, and they average your scores if taken more than once. She said they have no exceptions. (Which I find hard to believe, but gotta take her word for it at that point.)
