Humanities majors outperform biological science majors in every section of the MCAT. Physical science and Math majors are beast.

...therefore, if one wants to improve his MCAT score, he need only switch to a humanities major! Thanks for clearing that up.

Damn its too late I'm already about to graduate as a biology major...what could have been

People who major in humanities and make a turn for medicine are different kind of breed. It's like another selection process. I'm not surprised.

This is a horrifying picture.

Chemistry majors are probably included in the physical science section, and from looking at the chart they fare pretty well. Go chemistry! 😀

I don't know, the standard deviations are pretty large (~2points) on every section, and it's hard to tell whether any difference is significant w/o performing an independent 2-sample t-test.

So we can do it. We have means, SD's, and n's, so it can be done, huh. On second thought, i am le tired. Someone else can do it...

I would guess the differences are significant between any two groups because the n's are solid.

Why is the MCAT score for specialized health science so low ಠ_ಠ
