I was searching the forums but only found really old threads on how schools factor in the WS when looking at MCAT score. My score is 12-11-14 N... My question is this, would this score be considered unbalanced/problematic?? It wasn't a J or K, but it was still below average. Thanks. 🙂

It's a little off, but I've seen worse. The 37 will certainly help. Don't be surprised if this gets moved to the MCAT Discussions forum.

I don't think schools put quite as much emphasis on the writing score - and I think in a lot of cases, if you write a great personal statement/secondary, it sort of balances out. And the high verbal score also doesn't hurt.

Your score is great! Don't fret the writing score. Like christina30 said, write a competent PS, 2ndary, and shine on the interview.

Your 14 in verbal and 37 cumulative will more than compensate.
