Given the (weak) correlation between MCAT score and Step 1 score, I understand that a minor factor in admissions was the was the technical interest in accepting classes with higher median MCATs. That way the program could have a more successful class on the STEP 1 exam (and have better residency match rate).
Now that STEP 1 is transitioning to P/F, can we expect any statistical variation in the accepted MCAT pool, such as increased standard deviation or varied mean/median? Does it make adcoms more/less likely to take a risk on a lower stat applicant?
