How well does the LizyM spreadsheet hold when your stats are somewhat unbalanced?
This post is more about the score system in general than my specific case, but if there's one thing engineering taught me its that plugging in sample numbers can help things make more sense.
I will have around 3.5 and made 38 MCAT. (BioEngineer)
Is that really just as competitive as the person with a 3.9 and 34? Or does the higher MCAT score not help so much once you hit a certain point?
Should a few points be subtracted if the LizyM score comes from low GPA, high MCAT?
Also any approximates of how many LizyM points to subtract for having less clinical volunteering/shadowing than average? For example, I have maybe 60 hours volunteering and 60 shadowing.
( I do have other EC's and leadership roles, but they aren't particularly service oriented)
