Just wondering-with all else being equal (excellent GPA, EC's etc) would an MCAT of 8P 9B,5V, Q (22 total) keep me from getting secondaries? I will be retaking in Aug-will schools wait until new scores arrive or should I expect some secondaries? Thanks for any imput
 
You would get probably all the secondaries that you send out for. Most medical schools dont screen anyway, and those that do, the cutoff is usually at an 18, so youre fine. Besides, people have GOTTEN IN with lower MCAT's than yours so Im sure youll get the secondaries, at least. Good luck!
