Brief Profile:
Decided to pursue a career in medicine after \"trying it on\" by getting my EMT certification at the age of 17 and volunteering through a fire department. I\'ve been an active volunteer since then (and attended fire school as well). For the past 3-4 years I\'ve worked in my local ER as a tech during the summer and weekends here and there during the school year. More recently I started working in the OR at the tech level and enjoy it immensely.
I\'m a Biomedical Engineering major with a Material Science Engineering Minor and am an Honors Scholar and plan on graduating in May 2012.

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