I'm posing a very serious question to all readers:
Do you think MCAT performance is a true indicator of intelligence/future potential?
I can't understand how or why really bright people end up with sucky MCAT scores, thus completely destroying their chances of getting into med school.
My best friend (who just happens to be one of the smartest people I know) scored a 21P on his June '08 MCAT. The poor fella is simply inconsolable.
In short, I'm sick and tired of seeing smart people with a genuine interest in medicine get screwed because of poor MCAT scores. Why can't admissions committees see beyond the numbers? A bad MCAT score doesn't mean a person is stupid, can't perform academically, or that they won't make awesome doctors!
Meanwhile, arrogant buttholes who probably don't give 2 sh*ts about the sick/injured seem to have no problems getting in…
Sorry folks, I just had to get this off my chest!
