chanek Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey guys! I'm looking to apply to a couple American schools this year, but after looking at the MSAR 10th-90th percentile statistics for GPA and MCAT scores, I am having trouble determining which schools I actually have a shot at. My cGPA is about 3.2 (but my best/last two years are 3.9 - go figure) My most recent MCAT score is a 38S (!!) I was told by a friend that some American schools take MCAT to higher consideration, but none of the admissions programs explicitly declare this. I was wondering if you guys had any insight into this. It would help me choose which schools to apply to A LOT!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackintosh Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Nobody really knows about the weighting but you can bet it is about equal. You really only have a shot at DO schools with your cGPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathvvv Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Applying to us schools this late (even with a great MCAT score) is risky. I mean, low tiers (or even mid tiers) like wayne state, gwu, georgetown, suny (low), dartmouth, bu, northwestern, case western (mid) may look at you, but your low GPA is still a red flag. If you are really set on US medical schools, do a SMP if you don't get in this year. But with your MCAT scores, I thnk ull get some interviews. Again, save $$$ and goto western!
