I checked AAMC and everywhere else. I could not find an answer to this. Does anyone know??? How many people take it every year, like this year or last year. Thank you.

a little under 68,000 took it last year

The above is correct, you can look at the data here:
http://aamc.org/students/mcat/examineedata/pubs.htm

Note the "N = " near the top right for the total number of examinees.

The average MCAT is what, 25-26? That means that 34,000 people per year take the mcat and score below a 25.

The other 34k are probably members here posting in the 30+ thread.
