Check these chart shows out. African American with a 3.2 has like a same chance as as Caucasian or Asian with a 3.8! Glad I'm African American!
-Also, do med schools accept CC pre req? I took gen bio 1 and 2, and gen chem 1 at CC. I doubt they would make it a big deal right?

who are all these people applying with an MCAT score below 14? 🤣

 

[AmirTheDoc]

Idk lol. But still, that's a MASSIVE difference in gpa between different races accepted. Kind of crazy tbh. But I'm not complaining because it benefits me!

I mean...If someone is gonna go pay hundreds of dollars to test and scores bottom few percentile, it does not surprise me that same person would have no understanding of their score/never get MSAR or look at AAMC tables.

yes. Is there a problem with that? im a freshmen just trying to make it to medical school. I learn new information every day.

You should be aiming to do the best in UG and on MCAT. The reason there is a disparity in numbers is because the populations have distinctly different ranges in gpa and MCAT so an MCAT of 508 may be 80th percentile for the general population but it is is 95~ percentile for AA URM. It is no cake walk because you are still ultimately competing against peers.

Welcome! Before some lil troll with their panties in a bunch tries to ream you, there's an underrepresented in medicine forum (URM) that has a lot of good info. Starting there and looking at the aamc tables above might be useful. The stickied threads on the top of the Pre-MD forum are also clutch.




like 30% confident you are tht troll trying to spit fire but hey, girl can dream

Nope nothing wrong with that. In the future you can use the search function as there have been many many threads about this in the past. Good luck!

Starting there and looking at the same tables above might be useful.

I feel like the tables will be the same in both places?
