Brief Profile:
I am an immigrant, living in US for 8 years. I had some struggle taking MCATs for few reasons. One, I had a bit of a difficulty with Verbal Section due to my English skills. Not that I speak bad, but I don\\\'t have proficiency in reading and analyzing verbal material under timed conditions. I can\\\'t be too hard on myself, 8 years ago I only spoke it on elementary level. Another factor to affect my score was personal illness, for which I had to take a break off school. I went from my low MCAT of 20O to 29Q. I cross my fingers to play my cards right. Otherwise, pretty strong GPA, volunteering abroad and in local hospital, lots of research and extra curricular activities.

Summary of Application Experience
I applied early but retook MCAT in August, which caused some delay with secondaries. I wanted to wait for results so I could pick schools reasonably.
No applications have been submitted yet during this cycle.
Tatiana took the old MCAT and scored a which is in the percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a on the updated scale which is in the percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted Tatiana’s section scores as follows:
Tatiana scored a 10 on the Biological Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 127 on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems.
Tatiana scored a 11 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 128 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
Tatiana scored a 8 on the Verbal Reasoning section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 124 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
