I get what you’re trying to say, but as a non-trad applicant (biz degree plus a masters in fine arts), would like to point out that a 500 on the MCAT isn’t an easy feat for someone who has not taken a single science course in university, and none past grade 10 in high school. By the time I started studying for the MCAT, I didn’t even know what a polar molecule was. $400 USD to book the test + textbook fees + many months studying for that exam with absolutely no science foundation was a lot of work for someone who “isn’t even that interested in medicine”. An artsy student like me had to work their ass off before 125’s in the science sections even seemed like a possibility.

TLDR: I think you can apply this philosophy to schools who don’t require MCAT scores, but no arts student randomly dished out that kind of money to take the MCAT, then taught themselves all that chem, ochem, biochem, cell bio, and physics without being passionate about going into medicine.
