Summary of Application Experience
Had to withdraw from EVMS SMP before the end of first semester in December 2009. Note to self: wait more than 5 minutes after finishing cancer treatment before taking on med school classes. Went back to Seattle & worked for 6 months.
Re-started EVMS med masters in August 2010, much better this time. Applying only to EVMS - there\'s no point in applying anywhere else for Fall 2011, given that I have no new asset other than an SMP withdrawal.
Retook MCAT 9/11/10. Went from BS10/PS10/VR11/WS-O to BS12/PS8/VR11/WS-O.
Dr. Midlife took the old MCAT and scored a 31 which is in the 83th percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 511 on the updated scale which is in the 85th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted Dr. Midlife’s section scores as follows:
Dr. Midlife 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.
Dr. Midlife scored a 8 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 125 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
Dr. Midlife 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.
