@LizzyM now that the new MSAR is out, could you take a look and see whether a new
LizzyM score formula is needed? One suggested formula for new MCAT is:
score = 10 * (GPA + 2) + (MCAT - 500)
We'll get something like this:
Old
76 (i.e. 3.8/38 or 3.9/37) is new
80. This is generally the number to shoot for for top schools.
Old
73 (i.e. 3.8/35 or 3.9/34) is new
75. This is generally a good number for mid tiers while possibly being competitive for some top tiers.
Old
70 (i.e. 3.7/33 or 3.9/31) is new
70. This is generally where a "competitive" applicant for med school falls around.
Old
67 (i.e. 3.6/31 or 3.7/30) is new
65. This is around the accepted applicant median.
Old
65 (i.e. 3.6/29 or 3.7/28) is new
60. This is highly competitive for DOs and marginal for MD.
What are your thoughts?
