CORRELATION BETWEEN MCAT & THE BOARDS?

[Pursuing MD]

Hello there,

Is there any correlation between performing well on the MCAT and performing well on the boards? Similarly, is there any relationship between a high undergrad. GPA and performing well on the boards or medical school?

I got a 21 on the MCAT and I am afraid that if I were to take the boards I would not perform well...should I be concerned?

Thanks for the link. As one whose results on the MCAT were mediocre at best, the situation is a bit scary. I got a 28 on the MCAT but had a 4.0 in undergrad. I guess I'll just hope I learn to do multiple choice tests between now and the boards...
