MDMPH Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Debating if I need to rewrite my MCAT this year. I know Queen's is a black box but do you think a 511 (128/127/128/128) will be good enough for Queens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meningocoele Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'd say mcat is borderline.. Can you do better for sure? I can't remember if Queens takes most recent or best, but there are ppl who got in w/ ~511. If you do worse and Queen's only considers most recent then.. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I disagree with the above comment. Queen's estimated cutoffs from past interview threads has consistently shown a 506-508 MCAT cutoffs with 125/126+ in each section and sometimes 127+ in CARS. Your overall score easily clears the previous cutoffs and you have a good spread. I would not say your MCAT is borderline. I would not rewrite with respect to Queen's. Western may jump back up to 128 CARS but no one can really know ahead of time. If you have a good GPA, I'd stick with that MCAT and apply broadly. poorpremed, GumpertTheGreat and anonymouspanda 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just to clarify, do you mean that Queens uses MCAT as a cutoff and not competitively? I never knew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unarmed walrus Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Queen's uses MCAT both as a cutoff and competitively. The website lays this out clearly. PreMed#219099 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
