Both are ways to screw u in the long run, and can't accuratley predict who will be the better Dr./Dra. It's sad how these numbers are so important...

Personally, I think admissions should be based on looks.
Bring on the hotties, they are needed!
In any case, I think MCAT is largely a measure of how much time and $$ a person is willing to spend on prep materials. But there is a small segment of the population that is just good at standardized tests and dont need to study much. GPA is a mixture of discipline, desire, sacrifice (no social life), and memorization ability.
