xvidkid Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hey, I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice with regards to mcat score. I got a 33Q (12physical, 10 verbal, and 11 Bio). Should I rewrite or am I okay? I really want to sell my books lol. Thanks, any advice is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spuddy999 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 It ultimately depends on several factors. Are you IP? How good is your GPA? What year are you in? How good are your EC's? Average MCAT for 4th year applicants is 10.92 Q or around 33Q. Keep in mind this includes OOP MCAT scores, so an IP average would be slightly less. 33 Q, I would say is a bit above average and thus a respectable score for applying to U of A. Average for 2nd and 3rd year MCAT is 11.86 R or nearly 36R, if you're a 2nd or 3rd year applicant I would consider rewriting. http://ume.med.ualberta.ca/ProspectiveLearners/MDAdmissions/AdmissionStatistics/Pages/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I wouldn't, it's a pretty good score. If you feel like you really underperformed and were getting much higher scores on practice exams, then you could consider it. But think of the things you'd have to give up in order to go through the prep again. You might be better off spending that time on ECs or regular schoolwork.

xvidkid Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hey thanks for the responses. I am going to be applying in my 4th year. I am IP. My GPAs have been as follows: 3.61 and 3.94. I messed up first year and am hoping to drop that year. I also hope to get a 3.8 + in my third year. My ECs are okay, I guess spending the summer working on my ECs is a better choice than rewriting? Thanks ! It ultimately depends on several factors. Are you IP? How good is your GPA? What year are you in? How good are your EC's? Average MCAT for 4th year applicants is 10.92 Q or around 33Q.
