<p>I do agree with afan’s post that MCAT scores of 37 and 39 are treated the same. And both are above the median. The speculation is for student below the median from a non-elite school. At least, that’s how I read the OP’s question and I know that’s how I wrote my responses.</p>
<p>I certainly agree that a student from a non-elite school with stats above the median can be accepted to a Top Ten med school and posted as much. That happens a lot. </p>
<p>Maybe one of our regulars ( a student who wouldn’t get killed for asking ;)) could do a post on sdn asking : who got an invite from a top ten school, non-urm, with an MCAT below their matriculated median, and , if so, their UG school. My scouring of sdn hasn’t yielded any at the schools I follow. (There could be some and I just missed them or they don’t share their stats and/or UG.)</p>
