plucky Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi! So, another one of these threads, but no one is in the exact same position as me so . . . I got a PS10/VR10/BS12/O orginally, and was ecstatic for the MC sections even though they're not super high, not so much for the writing sample. Submitted for a remark, and it got bumped up to a P. Should I be happy with this? I would really prefer not to rewrite, as I have a 3.9+ GPA, and good extra curriculars, but I'm worried about not making the western/Queen's cut offs. What would you do? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 My instincts are to rewrite whenever you get a score that excludes you from some schools, because you can rewrite the darn test infinitely - although I can sure understand the desire to write this thing once! You are so close to roughly increasing the number of Ontario slots you can likely apply to by 50% if you go from P to Q but hold the line on the rest. Hi!

Typical Premed Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I had a 36P on my MCAT. I chose not to rewrite. Although I was automatically rejected from Western and Queens I still ended up with 5 interviews in Canada and was ultimately accepted this past cycle.

rmorelan Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I had a 36P on my MCAT. I chose not to rewrite. Although I was automatically rejected from Western and Queens I still ended up with 5 interviews in Canada and was ultimately accepted this past cycle. That's why it is such a tough choice - I redid the test and got into Western as a result. I actually had the same score - a relatively balanced 36P. Rewrote to get a 35S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 sheesh what did you guys do to get such high mcat scores? Nothing fancy - got a MCAT book, slowly and consistently went through it over a summer, and did every single practise exam I could get my hands as if they were under real test conditions once done (which was well over a dozen I think with the all AAMC ones, Kaplan, P.R. etc - traded with people and used my premed club to gain access to them).
