2008 MCAT Poll
Started by slcdoc
more votes
My guess is that the median will be around a 32-33
Which shows you that SDN is skewed and the reason people with high MCAT scores don't get in is something other than their MCAT.
These bunches are sort of odd, I've heard from alot of people including advisors that say 31-33 and 34-36 are basically similar ranges to them and 37+ is godly.
But I dont want to seem like I'm knocking this (I'm not), I think its cool to have this kind of thing to get a reality check.

umm...I'm ******ed beyond all reason. Disregard one of the votes on the "under 20" category because for some reason I thought that this was age, not score...lol maybe I'm dumb enough to actually get under 20! (come on, sept 12th...)
Curse my 30! Why did I even bother applying to reach schools? Must be a glutton for punishment.

If I have your GPA I wouldn't need my MCAT.
curse my lucky 7 on verbal!!!👎
it looks like i'm way under the average for SDN standard.
Hope i get in like PHOENIX

if this doesn't prove to you how skewed SDN is..
Lol, looks like the average is somewhere bw 33-35
Well not ever medical school applicant is going to answer this poll, and something tells me that at SDN the type of student to actively participate on this forum, and then actually answer the poll is probably a little more hardcore than the next guy. 🙂
Seriously! 18.5% with a 37+??? That's like the 97th percentile!
Wow, all those 35+ scores on SDN.
Too bad MCAT is only part of the application =(
If school acceptances are based on SAT/MCAT/GRE, my life would be so different.

Congratulations to all who did well and to those who didn't do so well, don't give up! 🙂 God bless y'all!!! 🙂
All I have to say is wow... I think this truly sums up the nature of this forum. Talk about a skew! We are all truly neurotic premeds.
Yup Sdn average Approx. 34, national applicant average 28, and national average of all takers 25. Pretty ridiculous, especially since a 34 is like 93% or somewhere around there.
errr, your MCAt is a 40??? correct?? lol
Crazyness!
I did well on the MCAT but procrastinated a little on applications so SDN is completely freaking me out. Complete mid-Sept to early-Oct with 3 interviews. Not bad, but so many people submitted way early. Jealous.

Hahaha. I was just about to say that...
Actually I just clicked 37+ to screw with the type-A douchebags that infest this forum. I expect many others did the same. The personalities in pre-allo just beg to be screwed with. Lulz.
"OMG MY 35/3.7 ISN'T ENOUGH" *slits wrists*
My goodness. With numbers like these perhaps SDN should start teaching med school.
