Could you explain to me, as someone who didn't pursue the degree you're going for, what's the benefit of scoring a 520 score or higher?

508 scorer here. I have 2 MD, 2 DO acceptances so far. You’re FAR more than your MCAT score. So proud of you!😊

Got 502 in 2016, GPA 3.8, was told not to apply by everyone including advisors, I did anyways, went to my state MD school, did really well, went to top 10 IM residency and now a year left of GI fellowship.

I got a 502 and got into my top choice MD program!! You are not defined by a score on a test, there is so much more to being a great doctor!

I got a 503 and I'm halfway through my 3rd year at a US MD school. There are folks in my class that got a wayyy better score and are in the same place as me.

girl i got a 500, didn’t retake it, applied to one MD school and got in! i’m starting in August! a 507 is a great score!! i don’t think one silly standardized test proves how good of a doctor you will be in the future 🤷🏼‍♀️

MCAT is a bad indicator of student success in med school and beyond. Its genuinely baffling that we still use it as a metric

Sitting on admissions committee meetings, MCAT is a single factor in a much bigger picture! Like obvi the score does matter to a degree but it is not nearly as important as your clinical and leadership experience, research, community service, etc!

I also got a 507 after giving it everything I had. I took another year and changed my approach and scored a 519. There’s nothing wrong with retakes, in fact med schools look at them positively if you can grow.

I’m so old lol. I got a 29 when 30 was the score to get. 3.78 GPA. Went to UMass, got in first try, Harvard Gen Surg and vascular fellowship and now Harvard surgeon. It doesn’t matter. We need to find smart good people, not JUST smart…
