Mathematically, it's obvious what the 10th percentile means but who exactly are those that get accepted to schools with high MCAT stats, especially with a cluster toward the higher end?
For example, a school with a median of 518-520, where the majority of the scores are around that range, but then would have a long tail at 512-514 etc
Are those 512-514 likely URM, athletes, legacy candidates etc?
I'm not sure how seriously I should take the 10th percentile.
Trying to see where I should def NOT apply if my MCAT score is just barely above their 10th
Thoughts?
