I have seen an accredited United States medical school who claims their average (mean) MCAT scores are:
8 PS; 9 BS; 9 VR
This is a 26 total. Now, from reading the posts on this board, it would seem that you MUST have a 30+ to even be CONSIDERED for admissions, let alone, get in. I am wondering: If this is true, then how is this school's average so low?
I assume that if their average is 26, then this means a large portion of students do score below 26 and get in? I assume a few of these are "minorities", but the school I'm talking about is in a rural area, meaning that they have few minorities in practice. Therefore, most of the people who are getting in and scoring 24 and 25 are white...
I guess it surprises me that so many people on here say you have to have a 30+ to even be considered when it is clear that there are some caucasian applicants who are getting in who have 24 or 25 total. (8,8,8 for instance.)
What do you think? Is the school lying about their averages?
