Now that it's getting close to Halloween, we're running a contest to hear your scariest stories! These can be scary stories that you've experienced or stories that you've heard and the story with the most reactions will win!
They really should show both. Averages of accepted and matriculated. Somehow I imagine that they do that to discourage applicants to apply to their schools (because they get enough as it is)...
This is good news. I'm somewhat encouraged. I mean for example NYMC shows an average of 30. But it is supposedly a notorious "backup school", i.e., a lot of mid-upper 30's also apply there and are accepted but don't matriculate...
Do the math. Many 35-37's apply to mid/low-tier schools as backups. They get accepted, but end up going to a "higher tier" school. If the average acceptant had a 30 mcat - driven up by the 35-37's - the average matriculant has to be lower.
that makes real good sense. so we should assume that the MCAT scores in the MSAR are probally about 1-3 points higher than the acutal MCAT scores of matriculated students? This is for schools outside the top 20 im assuming
