This is a completely pointless question, but if you could trade 2 of your MCAT points for anything, including other resume things, what would it be?

I think I would trade 2 points if I could have published front page of a major scientific journal, or if I could be a world famous dancer (for the sake of my application of course 😛)

I think trading 2 points off my MCAT score would've kept me from getting any acceptances. Now, if I get to keep my acceptances no matter what, then I'd trade 2 points for a Coke.

 

[funkydrmonkey]

For an acceptance at Penn and UCLA

I think I would trade it for a 4.0 GPA. Although Im not sure what would be more competitive: A 31 and 3.5 or a 29 and a 4.0.

It can be thought of as Minority status minus Asian and Indian.

good one.

i wouldn't trade 2 of my points for anything bc that's prob what got me some of the interviews. after all, the first screening is usually a numbers game (gpa and mcat).

5 bucks.

I'll give you five bucks and an extra nickel if you can get them on my application

 

[DorianGray]

i would trade 2 points for a publication

 

[sindadel]

I'd trade 2 points of MCAT for 0.2 more in GPA, definitely. I mean, if we have to keep the trade comparable. If we don't, I'd want a 4.0, awesome EC's, great clinical exposure, first author on several articles etc.

[Chemist0157]

An acceptance (duh).

I need those two points. There's nothing else in my file that I would consider a "red flag," so I would just keep all the points I have. I do wish I had done a little better in PS & VR, though. My practice scores leading up to the MCAT were usually a point higher in each.

 

[Quix]

How many times do we get to do this? Since I'm not applying anymore, I apparently have some capital I can spend.

Off the top of my head, paying off my loans and Alexandra Sim-Wise.

See its kinda funny for me, my scores went down on two sections and up on one... Crazy old MCAT.
