Good news for people who are disappointed with ~32-36 MCATs.
I was talking to a friend of my parents who is involved in admissions at a top ten school, and she said that a good rule of thumb is to multiply your GPA by 10 and add it to your MCATs. If your total is above 70, most top schools will definitely consider you a qualified applicant. Thus, if you have a 3.9, you only need a 31 MCAT to hit the 70 mark. A 4.0 and 42 really aren't necessary, according to her.
