Unfortunately in Ontario a 3.7 isn't high enough . You need a 3.8-3.9 for an interview and most require 30+ MCAT. Hope I can get into AUC!!

What do you think? my chances no mcat yet hoping to score around 25

If you get a 25 or above, you'd have a good shot. However, 25 is an awfully low score to be aiming for (it's below the mean)! You should be aiming for a minimum of a 30. If you aim for mediocrity, you're gonna always just be mediocre.

below the mean for what? auc's average isn't that high unless it's changed. i do agree with you about aiming for mediocrity though

Avg MCAT (of all MCAT testers) is 24. I think AUC avg is around there too (maybe 23 or something).

It'll depend on the MCAT definitely. 3 is going to make US hard to get into (maybe if you have an upward trend). Aim for a 30+ -> ExamKrackers 1001 series and www.studentdoctor.net are good resources for anyone taking the MCAT. sdn is a bit of a shark-tank though, so don't be surprised if someone attacks you for considering carib.

Im not aiming for mediocrity im aiming toward 30. but Ive been scoring around 25 on the practice exams.

sdn is great if you are the stereotypical wanna be med student. most of us arent in one way or another.....

if you get that 25, you should be in good position. big hypothetical however. good luck

I agree you with about sdn. They aren't very helpful.

National average for all people who take the MCAT. Last I checked, it was a 26.
