My dream school, quite literally, is UCLA-Drew. What MCAT scores is a school like that usually looking for? I noticed that their secondary allows you to use the past SIX years on your application (so that would add another ~950 volunteer hours for me). With my background, what MCAT range should I be aiming for to get an MD acceptance? That is the goal for me.

Aim for 528, as with any other class/exam.
