I met a Baylor rep a few months ago at a convention held by AAMC. The very first thing he said to me was "Is your MCAT a 36?" I said no. He moved his eyes elsewhere and began ignoring me. I was the only person at his booth. Thanks, Baylor rep

That's weird. The students/staff at Baylor have been among the nicest and most down to earth I've met. That type of question goes completely counter to the atmosphere they have at their school. I mean, their MCAT average is comfortably below 36. I'd say that "rep" wasn't representative.

could be because it was in california. maybe 36 is the average for OOS applicants. 35 is their MSAR median.

Mrh your posts are about ten times more pompous than stanford's secondary with about ten points less reason to be

Were you wearing a hat that said "I scored a 36!" on it?

Because they accredit us to confer the MD degree?

Who accredits them?

LCME

The self accrediting business, baffling but brilliant. I need to get in on this.

It's kind of like fiat money. It only works if people trust in the system that otherwise had no value. The LCME must maintain that trust by setting appropriate standards and enforcing them.

We all do by mutual consent.
