submit MCAT scores?

[icedcapp05]

I know that this has been asked numerous times but I was wondering if I should submit my MCAT score, which is 33R (12/9/12 - P/V/B)? My GPA is 3.78. I'm also an OOP applicant.

 

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't b/c my verbal score is less than 10 but I'd appreciate any advice.

 

Thanks!

My recommendation is YES, I see no downside, only help. I wouold not be considered wsith the 9 sinking you, on the contrary, your orverall score is an accomplishment to be proud of and, in my view, can help you. Best of luck!

But...the MCAT score CAN hurt you right? (I'm asking for me...). I mean, a mediocre MCAT might not help me, but it could also hurt me, so would it really be a good idea to submit the score if it's not really high?

I'm in the same boat and looking for advice on submitting 11PS/9VR/11BS/R as an OOP applicant.

My GPA is 3.98 according to the OMSAS conversion, but I'm not sure whether my MCAT scores would help or hurt me. I'm a Grad student finishing my MSc this year.

Pro: I actually wrote the MCAT (I figure lots of OOP applicants might not write the MCAT).

Con: I don't think my MCAT scores accurately reflect my academic record.

Yep I hear ya.....my MCAT's 12/10/10 and my OMSAS GPA is only 3.85 (......not nearly as high as yours).

Although I'm hearing the OOP avg GPA is usually higher, so I'm debating if I should even apply....:S

The way I see it is you should submit your MCAT scores if that's what you want to show off.

 

The word I got from the Admissions Office is that it's a either-or situation, meaning that if you send the MCAT, that's what they'll use. One or the other, but not both.

 

So when you say

Con: I don't think my MCAT scores accurately reflect my academic record.

then I think the answer is clear.

 

So to me, don't send them unless you are proud of them... more proud of what you got in class. And if it's a toss-up, then I'd say stick with the grades as it will most likely be that those who DO send MCAT results will have wickidly-sick scores.

 

That's my impression.

hmmmm

well in that case, I'll keep my MCAT scores to myself
