Brief Profile:
Nontrad. Worked in public policy--healthcare, human services, federal science--for 6 years after college. Research at Stanford and NYU but nothing published with my name on it; some shadowing and volunteering but not consistent or impressive. Took the MCAT for the first time in August, so submitted late in the cycle. Oh yeah, also, I never took biology labs in college, so that\'ll be interesting. Arkansas and a handful of other schools don\'t require them.
Hopefully my stats and information will help someone else in subsequent years figure out where to apply!
Given people\'s misconceptions about Arkansas, I probably shouldn\'t have chosen the avatar with the mullet, but it made me laugh. Full disclosure: I actually have a normal haircut.

catatonia 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 catatonia’s section scores as follows:
catatonia scored a 12 on the Biological Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 130 on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems.
catatonia 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.
catatonia scored a 11 on the Verbal Reasoning section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 129 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
