Dismal Writing Sample Score

[CBG23]

So, I got my MCAT scores back and was happy with the overall result, but was a little shocked by my LOW WS score (N). I took out my MSAR and realized that my score is significantly below the national median and below my target school ranges. Is this going to hurt me? I think I have a solid PS (NOT amazing, but I get my message across). I know you guys on SDN always say the WS section means nothing, but it kind of sucks being in the 30th percentile for writing...

I think an N is fine. Seriously--as long as you have a good PS and write good essays for your secondaries.


I just say....thank goodness I'm not in Canada. I'd have to keep retaking trying to get my writing score up.

Yeah, what Nikki said - if your PS and your secondary essays are good, no one will care too much.
