I took the MCAT back in July and I got a 520 (CP - 130, CAR - 131, BB - 128, PsS - 131). Will medical schools question my lower score on the BB section?
I have NO idea of the new MCAT scoring - so my input probably won't help (wouldn't mind if someone explained as I am not that motivated to look up conversions).
But the scores appear pretty damn close?
My MCAT ranged from 6-15,lol
Edit: Does anyone know why they changed the grading system?
could've just done 45+15, and made it out of 60 instead
They wanted to increase the number ranges for overall percentiles. Hypothetically two people could score a thirty with 4 question correct difference. Now those two people get a 508 and a 509. Something like that.I have NO idea of the new MCAT scoring - so my input probably won't help (wouldn't mind if someone explained as I am not that motivated to look up conversions).

I'm just wondering if I apply to top schools like Duke, Stanford, Baylor, etc. if they won't like that BB wasn't as high as the other sections. I've always heard it's better to get straight 130's than to score all over the place.
