Slight MCAT Conundrum. Any thoughts?

[charliegook]

First time OOP applicant to U of C. Just wondering what to do in terms of entering the MCAT info on the website app.

 

2008

 

9PS/12BS/11VR/O = 32O --> OOP formula (w/4.0 grad GPA) is 464.494

 

--> 10/15 MCAT pre-interview score

2009

 

12PS/10BS/11VR/Q = 33Q --> OOP formula (w/4.0 grad GPA) is 450.98

 

--> 11/15 MCAT pre-interview score

 

So, two question. 1) Do they allow you to pick-and-choose which one you put in, or are you obligated to put the one with the highest overall score (in this case, 2009). 2) If they do let you choose, should I go the safe route and choose the one with the highest formula score? Or is the 1 mark difference in MCAT PI score a big enough deal to use the 2009 score and hope I pass the formula cut-off.

 

Whoops.....post turned out longer then I thought it would. Sorry for the rambling.

phone and ask, or alternatively email and they will be in touch in less than a day.

 

I think they take the best overall score, but not certain.

 

Whoops, you're OOP...I think they only consider the set with the best BS/VR scores for the formula, which would be your first set of scores.

Again...phone call is in order I think

You can put in whichever set of scores you choose (in the applicant manual it says that they will only accept one set of scores). I would contact them to double check though.

Called them. You're correct. They'll take the best one for the formula.

Can anyone tell me how the scoring is done? The 450 scoring for OOP people
