what is the absolute lowest MCAT's that you have heard of for non-URM students who were admitted to your school? I have heard of people getting in with a 25 😱 can you beat that?

I know a girl that got in (not at my school) with a 22 on her mcat. she had a 4.0 gpa though...

A friend of mine goes to his state school and told me that there is a guy that got in with a 22 on his MCAT. He said that the guy is really smart and had a really high GPA in undergrad. The guy is also nontraditional and worked as a paramedic before coming to medical school. He also said that this guy is kicking butt on every exam and is probably in the top 2% of the class. It goes to show that the MCAT is not necessarily an indication of how well one will perform in medical school.

I have a friend who got a 24 and got into a better school than I did despite the fact I had a higher MCAT and the same GPA. But she was "rural" and I wasn't.

The MCAT is just a hurdle and has nothing to do with predicting success in med school. I made a 25 and I am near the top of my class.

This isn't my class but I know of a white female that got in with a 20 (her Dad had some pull with the AdCom). She did fine and actually made AOA.

And just how do you think URMs score on the MCAT?
