I don't think they say 24 is competitive but they say a 24 is where you start getting into the competitive range.


Just got back my MCAT score and ended up with a 38! Hopefully this pushes me out of underdog status a tiny bit.
Do I qualify? I'm URM and my cGPA is 3.66 and sGPA is 3.42. Took mcat twice, 1st time 17 (7PS 3VR 7BS). Just got new score today, got a 25 (10PS 5VR 10BS). Worried about the 5 in verbal
I found the best advice for taking the MCAT is to NOT PANIC. I know a lot of my friends had great practice test scores but froze up on the real test, resulting in a 5-8 point dropCongrats!! That's incredible! Any advice for another underdog who has yet to take their MCAT? 😉
I would say yes. You should still be able to get plenty of ii's, though 🙂c3.64/s3.60/25 (8/7/10)...underdog??

Your stats are pretty similar to mineHaha, I sure hope so! Turning my app in on Thursday!
Your stats are pretty similar to mine
I applied to 4 schools (late February application, didn't want to waste a lot of money) and received one ii.@keels99 How many schools did you apply to/ii's did you receive?

26 MCAT, 3.48 GPA. Okay EC's. Solid work history.Gutsy move! Would you mind sharing your stats?
I struggled with verbal too.. I couldn't tell you for sure if it will keep you from getting in but ik some schools do have minimum scores in each section so do a little research on the schools your looking at before you apply.
On a side note good job on your MCAT! That's an awesome improvement! It sounds like your solid with your sciences so if you end up retaking it just buy a study book with practice verbal tests and do a LOT of practice tests. It will take some time to really get used to the verbal passages since you can't really study for them but you will get the hang of it.. 🙂. Regardless congrats and I wish you luck.

It was actually my number 1 choice out of the schools I applied to, so I was pretty excited! And since I deferred acceptance I got my number one choice on CHC site!Wow that is pretty damn close! And congrats on ATSU-SOMA!! That is pretty high up my list. I'm applying to ~22 schools this cycle give or take one or two.
You might double check this, but I don't think the Hawaii site is an option any longer. I'm not sure about those already accepted, but it no longer shows up on the ATSU-SOMA website with the others:That's awesome! The Hawaii CHC sounds amazing btw!
My pre-med committee isn't helping by not giving my letters until the end of August :/
Why did you send primaries to schools you wouldn't receive a secondary from? Just curious.So how is everybody doing? Starting to get secondaries rolling in but also a lot of rejections. I know that this was expected but it is still rough, hoping to hear some good news from other people.
Congrats!! That's incredible! Any advice for another underdog who has yet to take their MCAT? 😉
Congrats! Lets get the ball rolling on this thread.Yay! I got my first II today to LECOM Bradenton! Super excited!
