writing sample importance?


Recommended Posts

I ended up getting a 31M on the MCAT

how much is this going to hurt me?

i have a gpa around 3.7, and lots of extracurriculars and a publication.

 

I don't want to retake the MCAT and risk getting lower, which is equally likely as getting higher.

Seems like people who got in this year have 32 and above, and their WS is usually above Q. I'd personally re-take it, both to improve your WS and your overall number. Of course, I'm a masochist: I took it 3 times. Luckily the electronic administration allows you to take them quite close together if you sign up right after getting your results.

It's worth 5% of your total app at U of A. A 31M isn't not competitive (solid english), but it's not a great score at all. I'd rewrite. You probably failed to address the tasks on the writing sample--even a bad writer can get a P if they practice.
