m_jacob_45 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 My guess is they bring down CARS to a 129 and bring up bio to a 128 or 129... Maybe 130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonuggles Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I think the CARS and VR scores are compared by their bottom percentile range, rather than their upper boundary. (Should be on the AAMC file) That being said, the old 11 had a really wide percentile range, where as new CARS 128-130 pretty much covered roughly the same percentile area as the old 11. It seems like the new MCAT differentiates scores in that percentile range more than the old one. (Ex. Verbal 13-15 are all 100% vs. 129 ~ 92-95, 130 ~96-98). Overall 129 is > 11 if you compare bottom percentile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mia1234 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 If you compare by bottom percentile range, 128 would be considered equivalent to an 11. So its though to say with the old mcat pool dwindling this application round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make sense, otherwise it seems like CARS is the ultimate cutoff, since 127 is quite low for the bio and chem sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also what they did before the new mcat was introduced. For the 2014-2015 cycle, you needed an 11 in CARS and a 12 in bio, so I think going this route would be very in keeping with what Western has done in the past.
