Include other test scores on AMCAS? GRE, SAT?

[blueharbor]

Please forgive the neuroticism that follows. Just about to submit. (Yes, I did google around before posting.)

I have some excellent scores from other exams and don't know whether I should include them. I have some academic deficiencies in my app.

Submit SAT score? 1550/1600
770 Verbal, 780 Math
Would including the SAT score look silly?

Submit GRE score? 1510/1600
750 Verbal, 760 Quantitative
The reason I would NOT submit this is that while this math score looks stellar, it is actually only in the upper 70s percentile, because the old GRE scaling was messed up. However, there is no place to include percentile. The verbal, despite being lower, is in the 99.99 percentile or something.

Thoughts? Yeah I know, I should be submitting and not fretting about this...

Just submit. I doubt these test scores matter either way.

it's no big deal. they don't really care, but if they do notice your GRE be prepared to be asked "why not pursue a PhD and/or grad school?"

I have my GRE in there, I got asked why not PhD in mine.

Don't mention the SAT. When and why did you take the GRE?

 

[mrh125]

I'm finishing up an MPH.

Fair enough, they'll definitely take note of that and that'll positive and in your favor 🙂. that's diff from gre scores though.

Don't you have to mention the SAT on TMDSAS?

What are you expecting them to feel when they read it? Gratitude that you chose medicine instead of a PhD?

I'd leave it out. Especially the SAT score, since that happened in high school.

Not what I was going for. Rather, that I'm a good test-taker.

Either way, too late to change anything! SUBMITTED!!! (I didn't include the SAT score, don't worry)

Time to shower and eat breakfast.
