MCAT Retake Calculator

[theWhat]

What do you think, does this seem like a useful tool in determining whether or not to retake based on basic admission statistics? Obviously it doesn't individually tailor to specific schools or personal characteristics...

I think its useful in the sense that its convenient because it saves you time so that you don't have to search through all the data yourself. But it isn't telling you anything new that you can't ordinarily research yourself.

Says I have a 34% chance of a 36-38. I should retake.

I could have a 72% chance if I apply now, or retake and get a 39+ so I have a 75% chance.

3%? Go for the gold! It's interesting how much it jumps from 29 to 30

I meant a 34% chance of scoring 36-38. Not 34% chance of matriculating with my current score.

Anything that says "Beta" after the title should not be trusted.

this is one of those times when statistics can be applied, but shouldn't be. what a dumb calculator.

I plugged in my numbers and my chances changed 0% when going from a 32 to a 38. Suspicious...
