MCAT Cut-off for C/P

[CGreens]

Hi all, I'm wondering what the individual section cut-offs have been for the MCAT in the past. I know this is not entirely known, and I have browsed the interview invite feeds, but if one has a good GPA (3.99), would you still get screened out with a 509 (125/128/128/128)? 

 

Thanks for the help!

MCAT screen will screen no matter the GPA. We don't know the cut-off as it changes year to year. Best of luck!

125 in a subsection will very likely screen you unfortunately. Your GPA doesn't matter for the MCAT screen as the above commentator said.

Would a 126 In anything screen someone out?

Had 126 in cars and got in so there is that. Other than that can’t say.

Probably fine but it depends on the applicant pool. Just have to make sure you meet the overall score cutoff too.

125/125/129/129 = 508 Chances?

Any idea what that roughly may be?

As mentioned above, no one really knows. But I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting an interview with less than a 126 in a section, and even then they were around 515 or higher. The 125(s) likely screens you out from reaching file review.

Think maybe a 511 with all sections at or above 127 would be good enough not to get screened? Got rejected from UBC yesterday so all my hope is on Queen's

Honestly it is all just speculation on the Queens forum. After reading your UBC posts, I really hope you get that interview to Queens though. With all subsections over 127 you certainly are not in a bad place though, having a balanced score is probably seen as a positive?

I'd recommend not investing so much in thinking that possessing MCAT and GPA to what aligns with previous years should give you 'good chances'.

I know several people, one with a 128+ on each section, and a 3.9+ GPA that didn't get an interview to Queen's over several application years, yet interviewed elsewhere (their ECs are also really good, by my standards at least). 

Queen's really is a mystery.

The MCAT cutoffs change each year I think, I know of someone who received an interview last cycle with a GPA in the low 3.8s and a 509 MCAT with a 125 in one section and 126 in another.  My educated guess is that each year, their cutoff for GPA is low 3.8s or high 3.7s, and their MCAT cutoff is 125-126 per section, with an overall cutoff between 508-511.

Do they look at all 4 years for a cut-off or last 2 years?

They look at your overall GPA, and your last 2 years, whichever one is higher is the one they will use for their cutoff/ranking system.
