can someone explain how people classify top, middle, and low tier by mcat averages?
is my assessment accurate and largely representative:
high tier = 37+
mid tier = 32-36
low tier = 31 & lower
if this was redefined for the new mcats, what would the scaling be? i read here that the deciders will use percentiles to identify candidates, so would it translate to:
high = 95 percentile or better
mid = 90-95 percentile
low = 90 percentile or below
edit: I know i did not include gpa and other factors, but for each tier, consider that the same person got the average gpa for the school they are applying to
