Summary of Application Experience
So I had a rather interesting (and I guess really lucky!) experience in that I got accepted to essentially my top choice (SUNY Downstate) really early into the cycle (November 1st!). As such I basically withdrew my app from everywhere else. I went on three interviews (Upstate, Stony Brook, Hofstra) after my acceptance just to relieve my FOMO but I clearly did not display sufficient interest so I was not at all surprised to not get accepted. Either way I'm really thrilled that I got into Downstate that early! Made what could have been the most stressful year really easy! My advice to future applicants is to get your application in early!!! I feel like my app didn't have such a great chance at a lot of the upper level schools (NYU, Cornell, Columbia, etc) that receive a ton of apps because my MCAT scores didn;t come in until very late August.
eliteeli took the old MCAT and scored a 37 which is in the 98th percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 520 on the updated scale which is in the 98th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted eliteeli’s section scores as follows:
eliteeli 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.

eliteeli 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.
