JP2118 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi all, here's my issue: Two MCAT scores:VR8 PS12 WSR BS11 and VR9 PS8 WSR BS9 Since UCalgary looks at VR only, but still takes into consideration your other scores in a subjective way, which set of scores should I use? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacelessMage Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'd use the first set of scores. The PS and BS scores are just enough points higher than the second set to make it worth while.

zxcv Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 The VR and the subjective are only 20%. So a difference between 8 or 9 isn't going to be a huge factor. However, the supplementary which is a much bigger portion will make or break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
