So 30 is the magical number?

[fahimaz7]

Before reading SDN I figured the scores were relative. HOwever, I'm now getting the impression that 30 is the score that makes or breaks a person's chance. What's so magicla about this number?

It's the average matriculating score (nation wide) to med school.

 

[fahimaz7]

Ah, I thought it was a 28 or 29

 

[cooldreams]

if you are an snd'er, its 30+, if not, 28...

 

[Elastase]

I believe the national mean is 29 to be a matriculant.

Be like me, get a 29

Nah shoot higher than that, pretty much a 30 is right over the hill so it should definitely get you in (as long as you apply to 30+ schools).

I was told by one school that if you have a 30 or better, your application goes in one pile, anything below a 30 goes into another pile.

Now, in the 30 or better pile, more people are accepted than rejected. In the under-30 pile, more people are rejected than accepted.

Its true for the early interviews at many schools. MSUCHM and Wayne State for one. Also, UMich.

I don't know your GPA but 8s tend to be minimums, so it probably won't screw you that bad if at all. It's not magic though.
