That's not correct, actually. The mean MCAT for applicants was 28.1 with a SD of 6.6, which means one standard deviation above the mean is 34.7 (~85th percentile) I think 37 is probably a pretty accurate estimate of 90th percentile. The number you were discussing was the 90th percentile for MCAT examinees.
Yup, this is right. To be in the top 10% you need a Z score of 1.25, which translates to a 36.5.
33 would put you in the top 23% (Z score of 0.74)
