eek! 8 is the lowest score I've ever gotten in PS...my nerves sooooo got the worst of me...
yippee! 10 in Bio! I thought I blew it!
M?! I write for a living! Well, I guess creative writing isn't the same thing...
What say all of you about the 8? Should I retake? I'm not planning on it... I'm an older non-trad student with Sci gpa 3.64 (all but 3 of my pre-reqs are post-bacc at 3.96), Cum undergrad gpa 3.72. Should I worry about the 8 or drink with glee tonight?
I finally checked my scores...
VR 10
PS 13
BS 12
35!
This was in line with my average on the emcat scores. I took all of them (3-10), and my scores ranged from 32 to 38, with a mean score of just about 35.
I got the exact same score as you but diff breakdown (PS-11, VR-10, BS-8? W-M) and was kinga bumbed at first but after talking to my advisors and health professions office I think we got a fighting chance at state schools! I am in TX and 29 is right at avg. I also have about the same gpa lol 3.74 here. CONGRATS MAN! GO PARTY!!!
wurang clan...I'm on the same boat as you:
V-6
PS-11
BIO-12
WRI-Q
TOTAL = 29Q
I live in NJ and i really want to go to one of the instate medical schools (Rober t Wood Johnson Medical School or New Jersey Medical School). I am happy with my science scores, but verbal always kills me. Any advice you guys could offer would be awesome....
Hello score twin !!
Congrats to everyone, especially those of us who sweated it out posting every 5 minutes on this thread!!!
I don't think im gonna retake, I don't wanna go through this again. It just sucks to say goodbye to out of state privates and realize I have another 4 years in the cold, assuming my best chance is at Ohio schools.
3.85 GPA, 31R, 9 in BS (painful)..... It's not worth it to suffer through this test again.
Calbears...hey everyone,
i got my scores today:
VR: 9
PS: 13
BS: 13
WS: M
should i retake to increase the VR and WS?!?! i have a high GPA and good EC's, so i don't really know what to do. any advice would be awesome
Thanks!!
I don't think it's the kind of score that *absolutely* warrants a retake - you got an 8 or more on each section, which is a good start. However, the rest of your application and your aspirations must be considered. How competitive is/are your state school(s)? Is your GPA well above average? (I'd say 3.70-3.755 and above will give you decent chances with that MCAT if your school is reasonable). OOS? GPA will probably have to near 3.85+. Private schools? With the same GPA as for your state school, you should stand a chance at a few low tiers (rosalind franklin, etc). Do you have a solid history of ECs?Congrats, I see lots of stellar scores posted here... Now then,
VR: 10
BS: 9
PS: 8
Composite: 27M
Can anyone help me with my prospects? Can I get into med school with these scores or should I retake the exam??? Desperate - any input is very much appreciated, thnxs in advance.

Best bet is to e-mail some of the lower tier schools on your list and ask if they have a history of admitting people with MCAT similar to yours.
