Curve?

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

Hey guys. I recently took the MCATs on July 13th and really bombed it. But I'm thinking about retaking it soon. When do you think the curve would be the easiest and would there be a major difference? I'm thinking either January or April.

 

[EECStoMed]

This thread is 😴

I would hardly consider 36 failing. GO get drunk and celebrate! 😀

 

[Team Zissou]

alright.. everyone please stop responding to our buddy rahul, please.

 

[axp107]

Mods can you please close this thread... ridiculous

 

[rahulkghosh]

Mods can you please close this thread... ridiculous

What's ridiculous? I was thinking definetly January. But then again, when you think about it, people who take in January probably are retakers. I dunno. But would you guys expect a major difference in the test groups? Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if my 36 I got on July 13th would actually be something respectable if I took the test with the same prep in a January/April.

rah----not to be mean or anything...but you're really getting on ppl's nerves here on sdn...to put in my 2 cents..if u think u really bombed the MCAT's with a 36, u have a grave psychological problem..i would get to the nearest shrink ASAP. I understand that you may have gone through a serious attention deficiency throughout your life, but this forum is not the place to regain it. you obviously shouldn't even be going to medical school if u think u need a 38 to get in..get ur facts straight..I think even more than getting an acceptance to medical school, you need to get a life (my honest opinion). Stop showing off, its for your own good. The smartest men/women of this world are humble people. This is all meant to be taken seriously, but not offensively.

Dude, just think of this for a minute. The average at WUSTL is a 37. So if you're Asian, you'll need at least a 38. Now do you see my reasoning?

 

[sv3a]

No, that's actually pretty terrible reasoning.

 

[mrmilad]

With a 36 you will have your shot at those schools, if you retake it I guarantee you will get a worst score if not the same. People here come to get advice in dire situations, not in situations where you might not get your #1 school. Wow who cares, you can get into a lot of top 10 schools with a 36. Please resort to some logic and find the insanity in what you were just saying above. Thank you. 👍

Rahul -

I'm Indian and I can totally see where you're coming from. I know this isn't going to get me points with anyone who's arguing with you, but I probably wouldn't be thrilled with a 36 either. (whether I would retake or not I would have to seriously think about but I wouldn't be really happy with it.) Part of it is that I'm applying MD/PhD and I've heard that the best schools throw out scores under 35...

I think the best thing to do would be to call schools you're interested in and give them your GPA and some other stuff and ask them what they think. Anyway, if you think you have to retake it then go ahead, just be careful not to drop.

Good luck!

The man here is very kind. He is wise to leave nasty words by the wayside, to less patient people like me who excel in art of verbal abuse and linguistic cruelty.

You see, by my estimation, Rahul's mere 36 will not adequately compensate for the gross shortcomings of his personality, which - being immediately obvious to most of us here on SDN after just a posts - must be glaringly obvious to anyone with the status to supervise his admission to a med school. Of course I'm confident Rahul's sensitivity bodes well for his bedside manner ("You call that a cancer? Personally I'm in my second remission and my cancer was much worse than yours. You're not even trying.") but I'm afraid I have to agree that (as he'll testify in every single one of his posts that he only got a 36, a mere 36) his score will not be enough to compensate for his gross character deformity, which would shine out on his application like criminal sexual deviance on the CV of a kindergarten teacher. My advice for you Rahul is to wear a fig leaf over your face as you interview, and take some Cialis it'll make you taller. I mean you should probably worry about your height, right? since you're Asian?

hmmm... I know of at least one case - an Asian MSTP student at Harvard. Her MCAT composite was 27; but her research was just un-friggin'-believable; so I can't buy your "best schools throw out scores under 35..." bit. For what it's worth, she's also doing quite well and her research is progressing nicely. 😉

Yes, average MSTP MCAT scores at top schools tend to look something in the "36" neighborhood, but a lot of this is a function of self-selection - it's the caliber of student that tends to apply. But students are more than numbers - so people over 40 can get thrown out if they've got little else to bring to the table.

Best of !!!

Being Indian doesn't have to do with anything. Unless, of course, you fall under the old Indian stereotype of validating yourself with test scores, which I thought was pretty much dead at least several years ago (I'm Indian as well, by the way). I fully expect to get a high 30s-40 score. Am I going to ***** if *gasp* I get a 34? Hell no. Even if I wanted to apply to a stat ***** school like WUSL.

Somebody missed their meds this morning!

Ok, everyone in here this a good lesson. It is not fun or proper to make fun of the mentally ill.

Only someone mentally ill with a 36 would think they bombed the test. Maybe you did not do what you wanted or know you can do better. However, you are still competitive based on your MCAT score anywhere.

Go sell crazy somewhere else!!!

 

[riceman04]

[Gpan]

OMG, OMG, OMG, what am I gonna do now? I just got my score back and WTF? A 40??me??a 40>? what school will I apply now?? What will my billionaire parents say when they find out that I didn't get the 45 like I know and promise them I will get? Damn life sucks. Oh well I am just gonna take my dad's private jet and fly to Belize to study my ass off for the next MCAT on the beach then. arrrrrrrr How will I ship my Lamborghini without scratching it??? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Being Indian was meant to commiserate with the Asian stereotype and culture - a lot of people's parents pressure them like crazy, or they feel the need to measure up without parental pressure because it's just that you're surrounded by other Asian overachievers all the time at family reunions and even with family friends.

Not saying that's an excuse for not having a life - and I do, btw. No matter what I thought about my score I wouldn't post on SDN saying "i have a 36, please tell me how to retake" because that's asking for fire.

MSTPBound - I started a thread a few weeks ago asking if many schools screen out at 35 (that's what my premed advisor told me) and got mixed responses. Since you're clearly MSTP as well, if you know about a website or something I don't that clarifies this it would be awesome.

hey I totally feel you man. A 36 is like ****, right. You must be stupid or somethin'. Go study your ass off for the next cycle. Don't you go out of your house until then. Oh and order a hooker if you feel the need to. Just charge it on your daddy card.

 

[DocMTL]

I think what is frustrating some SDNers, is the fact that you are disgustingly disapointed with your score ( saying you "bombed") when it is quite obvious that a 36N is an extremely competive score. Depending on your caliber, and what you are used to, a 36 could be a "failure" to you if you were accustomed to scoring a 43 on your pratice tests. If you feel that would score better on the second try, then go for it. However, you must understand that there is more to you than just the MCAT. Your GPA, your research experience, your essays, your LRs, etc. will all contribute to your application.

Don't be surprised if people do not sympathize and cry for you because you "bombed" the MCAT with a 36N!!some students would die for a score like that.

If you wanted sympathy, you won't get much of it on SDN. Nonetheless, i kinda see where you are coming from, but i dont feel bad for you at all!

And think about it , it could be worse, so lighten up a little...35 is the AVERAGE....not a threshold...so you look like you are sitting pretty as far as MCAT is concerned.👍

And I'm saying all of that is old news, particularly with many Indians nowadays opting out of doing the traditional science/medicine that their families expect them to do, and instead going into fields like business. Even if you find yourself still in one of those families that are obsessed with your MCATs, it's pretty clear how to break away from the stereotypes that Rahul here is bringing up.

LadyLightning (nice name 🙂 ) - I have learned that the best way to get your questions answered is from the source, so to speak. I try to get my information from the only people qualified to answer definitively - in this case, MSTP directors. I've spoken to four of them directly and they seemed to have very similar ideas about what makes a student competitive; in every case, MCAT score was only "one" aspect and usually not the most important one, although a couple did admit that <30 is dangerous territory. If you peruse the web sites of the schools that interest you, you should find that (usually) their FAQs regarding applications and admission tend to state this in one form or another.

Good !

I don't get your point... you're an adult. Even if your "Indian" parents are pressuring you, don't you have a brain? Jeez...

 

[sv3a]

Well, Rock Solid, it is admittedly harder for an Asian (whether South, SE, or East) to get into many top undergrad institutions and medical schools (not sure about other professional schools). Acceptance rates are lower for Asians than for whites by a small amount, just because there are so many of them applying, yet schools need to reserve slots for underrepresented minorities.

 

[MSTPbound]

I may be opening an entirely new can or worms here...but...what part of being Asian and or Indian makes it harder to get into medical school? I find that hard to believe.

No cans need be opened that were not intended. 😉

I think the logic goes something like this:

If medical schools are aiming for ethnically, racially and experientially diverse student bodies, it stands to reason that the greater the number of applicants from a particular group, the more competitive the process might be for members of that group. You can determine the validity of the logic for yourself:

I feel like I'm kind of hijacking this thread with a discussion of being "Asian" ...sorry to people who really want to help the OP with this difficult decision ;-)

What I'm trying to say (and what I clearly did not say well) is that a lot of the time it's just the way you were raised. All my life I've been held to a certain standard (because that is the classic Asian way to raise your kids) and even though my parents aren't breathing down my neck anymore my ideas of what is a "good" grade and what isn't were shaped when I was really young and I still hold to those.

Second, I think a lot of how you feel about your performance has to do with how well you think you can do and what you need.A 36 in the grand scheme of things is a pretty good score no matter how you look at it. But if you got above a 40 on all your practices or you're shooting high and a school's average is above a 36 (as many of mine are, and apparently rahul's are), then I think you may have a reason to think you may need a higher score. (however, you have NO reason to say "AAHHH I bombed it!! I got a 36!" - that is inexcusable.)

That said, Im starting to agree with some of the really early posts that say that this isn't really worth your time.

Thanks so much!! I'm probably not the first to say this, but I LOVE SDN - it's so amazing to have people who are willing to help out and pass on info even though you might be a competitor. Most people wouldn't. Really appreciate it, MSTPbound, thanks.

But two things to remember about SDN:

1 - You never REALLY know the person behind the avatar - take everything online with a nice chunk of KCl - including mdapp profiles, screen names and the like. 😉

2 - You never know who your competitor of today might be to you tomorrow. 😉😉

I'm 16. My parents aren't pressuring me at all.

 

[jhh3000]

why is everybody so antagonistic all of a sudden? when you meet a successful surgeon who has made an error in judgment, do you criticize him for feeling bad, because you can't perform the same caliber surgeries that he can? isn't medicine about reaffirmation and teamwork? yes, i would be happy to get a 36. but would i be satisfied, to the level that i'm content with my performance? of course not, why should you ever be satisfied with what you have already achieved? why not strive for more?

but rahul, at the same time i want to let you know that i have had friends who've applied to duke with a 37 who have gotten in, and i've had friends who've applied to UNC with a 40 who have been rejected. the MCAT only marginally helps your overall application once you're above a certain threshold. of course getting a 44 is going to boost your application, but if you're scoring in the mid 30s, is that a realistic goal? isn't a more realistic goal to improve your GPA, or volunteer at a service organization? yes, top tier schools do employ cutoffs... that you are nowhere near. they also mold their incoming class to match a specific personality type. so you can do "average" aka 36 on your mcat and still get into JHU, or you can do "superbly" on your mcat and be rejected.

i don't have my score yet, but i think from my performance at my test, i'll have to retake it. we'll see, but i'm probably retaking in january if they offer it then. my reasoning: the winter break gives me ample time to prepare.

and people can we stop being so antagonistic?

[gilbertjgreen]

Rahul-

I would like to change the tone of this conversation. When I read your original post, I had an immediate response similar to those who have already posted- who does this guy think he is, etc? My whole sentiment changed when I read that you are 16. You are not a "guy," you are a kid. That literally changes everything. So first off, I would like to congratulate you on a job well done. That is something that I don't think anyone has outright done yet on this post. You're 16 and you got a 36? That's ridiculous! To have comprehended this volume of information at a time when many of your peers are, at best, taking A.P. Biology, is astounding. It should be obvious to all that you are an exceptionally gifted student.
However, as a kid, you haven't matured emotionally. Life experience hasn't taught you yet the need to coexist in a world of "others." If you indeed got a 36 at age 16, it's my guess (am I wrong?), that you haven't had the social experience that your average peer has had. Not to say that you're not happy in the life you've leading, and that you haven't enjoyed your studies and the feeling of success, but it's likely that your world vision is somewhat limited. Unless you intend to lead a life where you are surrounded only by other geniuses (a likely impossibility as a doctor, although maybe you in fact would rather be a research scientist than any type of clinician), learn to interact with the "normals," catch my drift?
So, my advice to you is this: since you have to go to college before you get into medical school anyway (unless you have already done that?), put off taking the MCAT in January. Go to college, get some life experience. Shadow a regular old general practioner and see what that's all about. Even if you shadow a surgeon, it's likely that you'll see that there is a great amount of interaction involved. The doctor talks to the nurse. The doctor talks to another doctor. The doctor calls the medical secretary. The doctor even talks to the janitor. In all these cases, that doctor will be greatly served by a little humility. You will better serve others with a little humility.
That said, if all that isn't for you, by all means hole yourself up in a lab somewhere with other caustic geniuses and cure some disease! Please!

 

[gilbertjgreen]

I'm sorry, I'd like to refine that last line. I'm sure you're a nice kid. By no means do I assume that you're going to end up being some super-abrasive super-genius, but my point is this: the field of medicine is a colloborative one. You have to get along to get stuff done, plain and simple. Always do your best in regards to things like the MCAT, try to be the best, but realize that at some point (here's where the "old, experienced 27-year-old" part comes in) you might no longer be the "best." You might be surrounded by others that are as good or "better" than yourself, and if you won't have already figured it out, it is at this point that you'll realize that character matters, too.

 

[jhh3000]

he's 16? why is he taking the mcat now? the scores are only good for five years... i suppose he can apply his junior year in college?

 

[innocentsin]

i thought it was 3 years with the new cbt? not entirely sure?

 

[jhh3000]

oh sorry you're right, i just googled it... three years. so wtf that makes even less sense, and how could he possibly have prepared so well... he could have taken AP chem and AP phys C, actually a lot of high schoolers are doing that. and AP bio. but orgo? that's a college level course for sure...

I knew of a girl at my high school that was taking college courses (like, at a college, not A.P.) in her senior year, so I guess it's not impossible to do so. I guess we should ask him: Rahul, have you already completed all these courses, or did you just study up to take the MCAT?

I think it's only valid for 3 years.

But to each his own... the posts from this guy are just so far fetched..

A 36 would be a terrible score on the SAT! LOL! Don't you get a 400 just for signing your name?

Aleksxxx, you're probably right. But I still stand by my posts, I think pre-med MCAT braggards (real or not) tend to be underexperienced hole-ups who just need to get out in the real world. It's not like I had anything else to do with that fifteen minutes, anyway. Just biding my time waiting for scores.
