It's required now so I am assuming everyone pretty much took the mcat? I am taking mine this saturday but dunno if I can apply for January 07 in time.

I haven't heard that the MCAT is "required" now. Are you certain??

Okay you got me. It says highly recommended on their website. So I take it it must be a yes, seeing as everyone else in the top 3 requires it. Now that they are accredited in Cali, I assume they can be more selective.

On a side note, the application asks for grades for certain classes, if we repeated a class, do we average the grade or write down the better grade? The directions are pretty nil in the application. Thanks. How do we know which classes besides the standard ones are considered PREMED???? So does it mean they dont care if you took immunology, etc?

I was accepted, didn't really talk much about my scores during the interview nor did I put them down on the application. They asked me if I took it, and I said yes, then I told then the score. That was pretty much it. I know for a fact my scores had no bearance on my acceptance to the school.
