So I call them today, right, to see which of my two lowly MCAT scores they're gonna consider. They tell me the higher of the two, which is a 26. Then I get transferred to the director of admissions, who says my file is complete, and they do review the app as a whole, but "unfortunately", my 26 is not very competitive due to the fact that at UVa the MCAT score is a high predictor of how well students do with their curriculum. Ok, reasonable explanation....then I go recheck the averages for the student profile last year, and they're definitely 10.7, 10.4, 10.6, or something for each section! These are averages! Which means my 11, 7, 8, is right around there. So I don't get it. If the MCAT is so predictive of success, and my score isn't competitive, then UVa's averages ought to be a lot higher. Am I completely off track here? Does anyone have any comments?
