MCAT scores and Medical Schools: There is some hope for low score!

The MCAT scores and GPAs are the objective indicators of how well the applicants will perform academically in schools and on the licensing board examinations. These are not the only determining criteria for acceptance to medical schools. However, other extra-curricular actitivites or life experiecnes can also play an important  factor in the decision making process by the admission comittee. According to Association of American Medical Colleges, there are matriculants with MCAT scores less than 15.Out of 56,255 current students, 7,292  have less than 26 on MCAT scores, 12,014 have 27-29 on MCAT scores, and the rest have higher scores than 29.
