I don't know where this goes, in which subtopic... its not a "what are my chances" cause that's not what I'm asking...
I'm trying to ask; If a person with a very high GPA, who took all honors courses and extra advanced courses, has like a 4.0 GPA, and does research good enough to get published. He's obviously a capable and smart kid. Now, if he gets like a 28 on the MCAT... In Medical School, im sure even the adcoms and the kid himself knows he will probably be likely to still be the top of the class in med school just as he did college. But will adcoms see it this way? If he takes a test and does a little below average, it kills this obviously gifted persons chance at doing what he will probably excel and make a difference at.
I never understood why college take more precedence for a one day exam over a college career's worth of work! And this is just a hypothetical, lets say this kid really does only get a 28 (i know a common response is if this kid gets 4.0's he should have no problem doing better lol) just curious on what you guys think.
EDIT: I thought i was at LEAST in the MCAT section lol, i didnt realize this was in the Study Q&A subtopic... thats DEFINITELY wrong... can someone move this?
