<p>If not, what's the highest you've ever heard of. Also what's the lowest MCAT score you've heard someone had who got into a Medical school in the US.</p>
<p>Go to mdapplicants.com</p>
<p>I’ve met a guy with a 44, supposedly the past has had a few 45</p>
<p>Yes, it happens every few years.</p>
<p>I’ve also met a 44 - and yeah, I’ve heard that 45’s happen, but not often.</p>
<p>What about the lowest score you’ve heard someone having that did get accepted into Medical school?</p>
<p>You can look up the full range of accepted GPA and MCAT scores here:

<p>Take to heart that many of those low values may be from nontraditional students or ones that were in BS/MD programs that didn’t have to score well on the MCAT.</p>
<p>This. I’d assume that all those that have low MCAT scores have other, shining, characteristics that make them really stand out. Something you probably won’t have coming right out of undergrad. Instead of looking at the lowest score you could possibly get, just study and aim for a 30-32, thats about the average for having a decant shot at getting in.</p>
<p>Thanks! That’s what I plan to do. But according to the chart, even people with 39-45 and a 4.0 GPA can rejected. So you would need a lot extracurriculars as well.</p>
<p>I got a 46U.</p>
<p>I know 3.9/40 who got rejected this cycle.</p>
<p>Extracurricular activities, personal statements, and interviews are extremely important, in addition to scores. But another problem that applicants may have (especially if they think their scores are very high) is applying to too many reaches (aka not applying broadly) or applying to too few schools.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Quoted for its importance.</p>
<p>I know 3.9/39 who got accepted this cycle, thanks to the fact that he is not too nerdy and has been very much into club activities. (Acedemic was almost never brought up during interview. The interview was almost all about ECs.)</p>
<p>I also know 3.9/40 who ALMOST got rejected everywhere last cycle – got accepted at a single school very late in the 2009-2010 application cycle.</p>
<p>I also know 4.0/(26 first time, 31 or 32 second time) from a crappy school (much lower ranked than the typical state school) who got accepted almost everywhere, often with huge grants, in order to recruit him to the school.</p>
<p>Once you are placed into the “nerd” pool, e.g., doing nothing but the academics, you are likely only slightly better than being placed into the international pool.</p>
<p>What kind of Extracurriculars should you participate in? I’d assume something that follows the Medical path, but would sports or other cubs work as well?</p>
<p>Would being an intern at a local fire department riding with the ambulance be considered a good extracurricular? I’m in high school and have over 85 hours of this!</p>
<p>Two things:</p>
<p>1) this thread is 2 years old. Don’t resurrect old threads!</p>
<p>2) any activities you complete in high school don’t count for med school admissions. Only stuff the occurs after the first day of college.</p>
<p>Nick,</p>
<p>a) your question has nothing to do with the topic of this thread
b) what WOWMom said unless you continued to volunteer at a fire department through college in which case you could combine the two.</p>
