so how hard are the mcats?

Pre-Med & Medical School Multiple Degree Programs

<p>i dont know anything about the mcats except that the national average is 27</p>

<p>also in regards to "top school vs. med program"...i went to nyu and they said that students with a 3.5 gpa and 30 or above mcats have nearly a 100% entrance rate into med school (30 or above and lesser gpa...95%, 27-29 and 3.5 gpa...55%, 27 or below..8%)</p>

<p>30 does seem feasible..i know i'm a good worker (3.5 shouldnt be an issue) and good test taker but i wasnt sure if its worth risking guaranteed med school (lehigh/drexel program...not a big fan of lehigh)</p>

<p>please provide some insight on these dreaded mcats and personal suggestions for me would be awesome (i love nyu but i'm not sure if its enough to give up a seat at med school)</p>

<p>thanks :)</p>

<p>The average for each testing ranges between 24.5 and 25. Look at this</a> page for information on score distributions. The national average for med school applicants is 26.8, which is what I think you were trying to say. The average MCAT score for med school matriculants is 29.6.</p>
