So with more and more applicants applying with their new MCAT score (myself included), how do admissions compare? Is it solely based on percentile ranks?
I'm applying this June (16/17 cycle) and am curious. I feel as if a good portion of the applicant pool for this next cycle will still have the old score, on top of all the students who took the new MCAT. So if admissions see applicant A with a 28 and applicant B with a 501. What do these numbers truly mean to them.
I'm mainly asking out of curiosity, as this has been on my mind for a while now. But the physician I work under was asking me about it yesterday. I figured SDN may have the answers.
