MCAT scores

[milah002]

Random question....What if you were having a bad day taking the MCAT and your scores came out verrrryyy low, how good are your chances of still getting accepting into medical school when everything else is still on point? I mean, like a score below 5 on the sciences, but your GPA is very good, as well as the extracurriculars, volunteer work, etc. Anybody have any input?

I think if i got below 30 overall...i would def take it over again..you can take it 3 times without reason, but after that you need to show that you DO intend on applying to med school. Most med schools want at least a 30...well from my research of Canadian schools...but..i don't think the schools would take into consideration that prehaps you were having a bad day. I think that excuse might actually work against you, cuz if put in a real life situation...technically a doctors "bad day" could be an issue of life or death for the patient...? I donno...just my 2 cents. Hopefully we all got way above 5 and don't have to worry about this type of situation!! :)
