This is my personal opinion but 1 point on the MCAT could mean just getting one more more question right on a single section. Which do you think is better a person with a 36 MCAT and 4.0 GPA or a person with a 39 and a 3.7? Assuming that these two people went to the same college, had the same major, and took the same classes.
Lets say the 36 dude ( V=12 B=12 P =12) and the 39 dude ( V=13 B=13 P=13) took the same MCAT test. Lets say the person with a 36 missed a total of 15 questions and the 39 dude missed a total of 12 questions. The 39 guy got 3 more questions right than the 36 dude. Does getting 3 more questions on a single test makes up for the fact that the 39 guy was out performed academically by his fellow classmate, the 36 guy, in the past 4 years?
For example if in the four years they took 60 classes.
The 4.0 students got A's in each on of those 60 classes.
The 3.7 students got A's on 42 of those classes and 18 of those classes he got B's.
Does getting 3 extra questions right on a single test make up for the fact that the 3.7 and 39 guy was out performed in 18 classes in the past four years by the 36 and 4.0 guy?
