I'm taking the MCAT for the first time next week, and I've only been scoring 27s or less. 27 was my best. I'm going to go ahead and take it.

Anyone have any inspiring stories?

Thanks,

Bride

I have a friend who scored a 27 and got into Hopkins, Pitt, Jefferson, UMD, and Case; she chose Hopkins and is now a resident there.

She was student body president for her undergrad and had other pretty outstanding ECs and LORs though.

lies, it never happens!

hey don't worry about it OP...you still have a very realistic chance with a 27...and don't forget that many people see a 'bump' in their score when they take the real thing...a 30+ is not out of reach.

 

[SanDiegoSOD]

I believe that the average score for matriculants at allopathic schools is 30. Assuming a normal distribution, then half of all matriculants scored either at or below a 30. A score below a 30 will definitely not keep you out of medical school, although it will limit your options. But as many people will tell you, an MD is an MD... 😉 🙂 👍

 

[Pinkertinkle]

Your practice scores don't accurately represent your actual score. My friend maxed out at 30 on practice tests and almost broke 40 on the real thing. If you get your adrenaline and concentration right on test day, theres no limit.

 

[notsittinpretty]

I don't think the practice tests are really that indicative of what you'll get on the actual test. I think a lot of factors go into how well you will actually score. I got 27's on the practice tests and ended up with a 32.
