Guest JGracie Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 How does the writing sample correspond to numbered grades? I know a lot of med schools convert the J-T scale to a number so I'm wondering how it converts.. i.e. is T = 13-15 or T = 15 S = 14 R = 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeffpr Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 They are assigned letter grades over a range of 2-12, with T=12, S=11, etc. I believe the lowest grade is J=2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bolander1 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 it's a scale of 1-6 J=1 K=1.5 L=2 M=2.5 N=3 O=3.5 P=4 Q=4.5 R=5 S=5.5 T=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sunE Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 bolander1 isn't really correct. When you get your score back from AAMC, it will be for example: 35R. So the R represents a 10. You could have got a 6 on one WS and a 4 on another WS. Or you could have gotten a 5 on one WS and a 5 on the other WS too. AAMC doesn't tell you that. They just combine the two scores of the essay's and thus give you the total score. So Jeffpr is right. The lowest you can get is J=2 (a 1 on both WS you do). The highest you can get is a T=12 (a 6 on both WS you do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
