Had a quick question about how MCAT and GPA are used in general.
I've heard that there is no continuum when it comes to scores and GPA - like you are either "academically qualified" or "not academically qualified." But certainly, the benchmark must be different for every school, and certainly a 520 looks better than a 515? And certainly a 3.95 is better than a 3.9, and a 520/3.95 will probably get more interviews than someone who submits the word-for-word identical app/LOR's with 515/3.9?
