mcatstruggles Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Does anyone know anyone who's gotten in to UBC with a 124 on CARS? I've written the MCAT 3 times, my CARS keeps going down, but over all score went up. 511, with a 124 Cars... should I rewrite? ughhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitandkat Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hey! UBC seems to care more about total score than any one section. As long as you meet the cutoffs, apply! 511 is good score and its definitely worth an application to see where you are at before taking the MCAT again. I know lots of people who have gotten in with lower overall scores. mcatstruggles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnocks Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I got in with 124 CARS in my first application cycle. I know of many others who did as well. Keep your head up. mcatstruggles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenixh Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 It took me 4 mcat rewrites to finally get a 124 and 125 on the CARS section (514 overall) and I just got in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pterygoid Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I just got in with a 126 cars, 512 overall. Hope this helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldywood Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm curious too - I have 131 on CARS but 124 on B/B (way lower than my practices) - 509 overall. I'm on the waitlist. I would consider rewriting this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This process is just so frustrating. I don't know if I have it in my to rewrite once more. I hope you make it in off the waitlist!! aldywood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to give myself a few more weeks before considering a rewrite. I think spending a month or more dedicated to strategizing and writing ECs could be more helpful than rewriting the MCAT. I think there are lots of creative ways to think about experiences for that section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they don't look at MCAT (aside from cut-offs) pre-interview, it seems like the other areas of your application may need to be shored up (or re-written) to ensure you get an interview this next cycle! Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my MSc and had a few publications. Lots of research experience. Was on the board of a charity. Played varsity sports. I applied 3 times and only interviewed during my last application and got in. It can be done! haha Fast_Layne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
