Not to take away from your question, but what is it with the new MCAT that everyone is aiming for percentiles? Are there no more MCAT scores or something?
 
I don't know much about the new MCAT scoring, but regardless you should do as best that you can. You will have a very good chance at MD schools if you score in the 70th or 80th percentile. Good luck.
