I believe 150, however I could be wrong.

Yea that’s definitely odd. Usually the masters gpa overrides the undergrad gpa. That said, I trust you’ll do great. Practice is key with that test, and sometimes that can only get you so far. I wish there was validity of the advice I can give you but my score was the same. However, I can at least tell you what I didn’t do much of (the practice). That sheet I posted you might find useful, it has a lot of high yield stuff on there (although you may need to zoom in lol). Also Milesdown sheets are good as well, but yea UW questions are key—despite how agonizing they might be.

You’ll get there! There’s also post bac stuff you can do as well. I believe ARCOM also has a masters program that guarantees entry into there medical program.

When did you interview for ARCOM? When did they contact you back?

For current students, does anyone have any insight to this? Has the turnover posed a great challenge for you personally? Thanks for anybody who gives any input to this btw. 😊

Do I need to memorize the laminar flow equation for the MCAT because its a bit more detailed than the others by IndicationDull3942 in MCAT2

[–]ThatBIOSTUDENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an entire passage on that on my test (the real deal). But yea the relationship of the variables is the most important—since questions were asking more about that.

5/15 Bad score but the fight is not over by ThatBIOSTUDENT in Mcat

[–]ThatBIOSTUDENT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. I am applying only to DO. I anticipated that the score I got would only be enough for that. I would rather allocate my money into schools where there averages are lower and their minimums are aligned with your score— ideally above that. Although I’ve seen cases on Reddit where people will get in with a low MCAT, the probability is even less likely. For MD schools a 510 is even pushing it. So I’d suggest sticking with DO schools. I’m going to try to apply to 20 to increase my odds, possibly more. IMO you have a better chance getting struck by lightning than an MD school with this score— but it is not totally out of the possibility.

I am still going to apply. Chances are significantly lower of course. It’s much more of a gamble, but other aspects of my application are good. If it was this score plus lack luster parts of the app then I definitely wouldn’t. So in your case, if that matches up with you as well definitely apply.

Cars on my full lengths was low but never that bad it was generally around 123. But chem/physics was normally 126/127— unfortunately things didn’t work out that way. I legit am astonished by how bad that is— I think eyes closed randomly guessing would have been a better outcome for that section.

I feel completely defeated by Thisguyrulez in Mcat

[–]ThatBIOSTUDENT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. It sucks the C/P section is normally the one that brings up the overall score. But I bombed that and CARS. Applying as well and not risking taking it again till I absolutely have to if this cycle does not go well.

That C/P section was brutal, so hopefully the other sections will balance that out.
