How important are these exams? I bombed my ACT. I didnt study for it, or actually even care because I knew I was going to a CC. ( I wasnt in that PRE-MED mindset just yet lol) I was also debating on whether or not to take over our family farm. I am hoping that the level of importance of these exams is miniscule to the MCAT and GPA, which are much better than my ACT. 🙁

I don't recall being asked to put down my SAT or ACT score on any DO apps (just a few allo apps).

either way, a SAT or ACT score will be blown out of the water when compared to your MCAT. I wouldn't give it too much worry if you find a school that does ask for it.

Hello, I called and asked about that, the ACT and SAT scores are more or less used for data rather than evaluation purposes. I completely bombed mine, got into a big ten school. Now just hope to get into a med school.
