Is it true that nobody has ever scored a 45 on the MCAT?

<p>I looked at practice tests online and it doesn't seem THAT difficult- I mean, the multiple choice. I'm not saying I could ever get a 45, or even a 30 right now (I'm still in high school) but I know that a lot of geniuses go to medical school and it seems strange that not one person has received a perfect score. It seems to me that anyone highly intelligent with a strong science background that was naturally skilled at language is theoretically capable of a 45, which is why it seems strange that it has apparently never happened. It's not like essays, which are subjective- the multiple choice part is right or wrong, so it surprises me that nobody got a 45. Or am I wrong - have people gotten 45s on the MCAT? How about 45T? Also, do you need to get every single question right for a 45?</p>

<p>Very rarely, at least in the past before they standardized the grading system, people supposedly got 45s. I haven’t heard of one in the last few years. You would need to get essentially every question right, but as I said the standardized grading system may make a perfect score only a 44. I’m not sure.</p>

<p>The problem with the MCAT is the fact that you are indeed competing with very smart, very science adept individuals. Since it is graded on a standard curve and the curve is set very high this is what makes it difficult on top of the intrinsic challenge of the exam.</p>

<p>At least one person has scored a 45. From Michigan’s twitter (October 2010)</p>

<p>“Stats for those offered interviews to date (Average/Range) SGPA: 3.8/2.9-4.0 TGPA: 3.8/3.0-4.0 MCAT: 37/25-45”</p>

<p>Kumar, from Harold and Kumar! Best movie ever(:</p>

<p>Lol Kumar is my hero.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t scoring a 45 be everyone’s goal going into the test? :)</p>

<p>Neil Patrick Harris is my hero… Tashawndah, I hope you kept the baby. -sniffles-</p>

<p>LOL Tashawnda was the girl who got branded right?</p>

<p>Nahh, that was NPH’s lost love, Whoopie Goldberg’s backup or something like that. Tits Hemmingway was the one who was branded.</p>

<p>Ahh yess.
It’s been a while, I’ll have to rewatch it.</p>

<p>I know every word to both movies by heart lol… I need to do something with my life, seriously.</p>

<p>will their be a new herald and kumar??
they better make another one!!!</p>

<p>No one has scored a 45. Show me evidence that anyone has.</p>

<p>There will be, “A Harold and Kumar Christmas” comes out on Christmas, of 2011, I think(:</p>

<p>So this is kind of late, but I know of ONE person who has scored a 45. Over the summer I was in a program for prospective pre-meds, and we got to talk to the dean of admissions at UMMC, and he said there was actually one person in the freshman class with a 45…and i’m thinking, uhmm, why is this guy not at harvard?</p>

<p>lol how did this become a threat about harold and kumar</p>

<p>Maybe it was a dream school for that guy who got a perfect score. I think everyone aims for a “perfect” score. I’ve heard that as long as your in the 30+ range with a GPA above a 3.2 you should be fine. :slight_smile: Can anyone corroborate this with proof or has heard of anyone that got accepted?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Gregory House scored a 45</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Hah. Try 3.7+/32+.</p>

<p>My friend’s brother got a 43, and I don’t remember him as being too exceptional (the score does speak otherwise, though) so I think it’s likely SOMEONE has gotten a 45.</p>
