B

 

[pratik7]

considering all three choices are above average for matriculants

 

[adamj61]

a twenty to thirty people get the 40...so I would take that, anyone can have experiences or pad your grades, but a score like that..C!

 

[Pinkertinkle]

I'd take A, it's the most balanced.

 

[LauraMac]

C

MCAT is standardized, GPA is subjective

 

[principessa]

A, with the GPA from a really tough school.

 

[MoosePilot]

C, that kind of MCAT is rarer than that kind of GPA (and the GPA doesn't suck).

 

[ifailedmcat]

Depends on the undergrad, if it was Harvard, MIT...C.

Hey Moose, your new avatar is pretty cool .

 

[Catalyst]

I'd take B in a heartbeat. I know many people with similar stats who got into some amazing schools (not to mention scholarships)... that's not including some SDNers on here also who have done extremely well with these numbers (you know who you are)

Thanks!

 

[Medikit]

A.

 

[willthatsall]

I want that 4 to the 0, dawg.

 

[skypilot]

C is just a B+ GPA, I think I would take B, a 3.9 rocks and a 34 is average for a top school.

 

[Pinkertinkle]

I'd say that 3.9 is above average for top schools.

 

[fullefect1]

B

 

[Luck]

None of them because it was a stupid question. The gunner has come out of you.

WTF kind of question is this?

Would an answer to this question even serve a purpose?

Holy Jezebus people, just do your best and apply! Sheesh!

There is only one possible answer. This person must be on an adcom .

"A" looks real good to me.

You know, according to last year's MSAR, no one who got a 39 or higher score didn't get into medical school. And the acceptance rates for the upper 30 MCAT scores were very high, falling off significantly only around the 34-36 range. If you're trying to get in, the high MCAT is where to focus.

I'd aruge that a 3.4 from Biomed Engineering at Duke is worth way more than a 3.9 liberal arts major at a state school, possibly even a bio major.

 

[shocker]

A

 

[W222]

I like to measure all my self-worth by the MCAT, THEREFOR I would choose the 3.4 and 40MCAT. I would also prefer a perfect score in verbal over the other two sections.

haha!

 

[MEG@COOL]

I'd pick C because that would mean that I am a smart BASTHAD slacker which is a very cool thing to be.

 

[tokada11]

if it was Harvard

There's a lot of grade inflation at Harvard.

 

[NSDQ]

B, unlike options A and C, B has an above average GPA and MCAT for about 95% of MD schools.

 

[airplanes]

There's a lot of grade inflation at Harvard.
