i know some people in my class who scored around a 29ish. the uc schools use mcat, gpa, and other factors to initially screen their applicant pool. interestingly, i know more than a few people with scores over 35 who were rejected without interviews from some uc schools.
at ucsf there isn't a mcat cut off that is black and white. your whole application is taken into consideration. my mcat score was below the average mcat score for matriculating students, but i am not sure as to whether or not it fell within the standard deviation. what i learned is that the application process becomes more and more about factors that are not numerical. ucsf is huge on the personal statement, letters of recommendation, and the interviews.
