There is a direct correlation with poor performance on MCAT and all the Steps. This is research is available and can be googled. FM forum is a questionable choice for this topic which belongs if anything in the premed forum.

Okay, so if OP is in the 0.39% of applicants then maybe he has a shot.
He said he has a 3.6 GPA in an earlier thread. So that 90 less acceptees since we can throw out the 3.8-4.0 bracket. He's on the very low end of the 3.6-3.79 bracket. So I suppose he does have about an 8-10% likelihood of making it. 👍
