I am supposed to be verified probably sometime this week but have already received half a dozen secondaries to work on. My question is - can adcoms see any portion of your un-verified application?

Also, I'm considering applying to other schools. Is the average MCAT or the median MCAT the best measure to use when trying to determine likelihood of acceptance? The MSAR only mentions the median MCAT but many schools post the average MCAT when mentioning their class profile.

Median is more reliable because it isn't affected by outliers. Mean, on the other hand, is.

I have checked on incomplete applications and seen some embarrassing comments.

Embarrassing comments with respect to? Like in the Work/Activities section or the secondary comments?

They appear to be comments meant to remind them of what they want to say in response to the the secondary prompts. "WTF" is not rare.

That is actually hilarious.

Oh...lord. I dropped some f***itty-f***-f***bombs all over my app when I was first filling everything out... but I submitted on the first day possible.

THE APPS HAVE EYES.

Given what I know about faculty, I imagine most would just chuckle if they saw "WTF's" or the like on incomplete secondaries. Most of our faculty are down-to-earth "real" folks.
