What's the lowest MCAT score you've heard of someone getting but was still accepted into an MD program in the US?

are you one of those people that asks what the lowest possible score is to pass a class? why don't you just try your best all the time?
not trying to flame...just wondering where the utility of this question lies.

Am I the only one slightly worried about this person being my doctor unless they've had some amazing hardship in their life?gophergirl said:http://www.mdapplicants.com/viewprofile.php?id=5361

jackie, thats the reverse of the guidelines of the contest though.jackieMD2007 said:OP, looking at MD Apps, there are a lot of people with scores 25-29 that got into MD/DO Schools. Here are some nice, complete profiles for you where the applicant applied to more than a few schools, and had some success getting into MD Programs.

Honestly, I dont want any doctor that got below a 20 on the MCAT to work on me in a hospital...
You know, I know a Doc, that got really low MCAT scores, did great in school, was chief resident and was just named a top doctor by Washingtonian Magazine. Just something to think about.
^ It was only cause she was URM. We need to end that med-school backdoor once and for all!
What was your "low" score? To what do you attribute your acceptance? (extracurriculars? high bcpm gpa?)
I am an applicant with a low MCAT score and am struggling through this process for the second time...
