[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCAT is the most important criteria.  If she can’t get into the right range, no point in reapplying.[/quote]
At median for target schools, but agree it should be higher to stand out.  It seems med schools only admit about 50% of applicants selected to interview, yet all those interviewed have scores that are "high enough" to be admitted, or they would not have been interviewed. [/quote]
They probably wouldn't have even been sent secondary applications, if not in the range.

FYI for those reading, there are multiple hurdles before acceptance. If you look OK enough on paper after initially applying, schools will send you a secondary application. If not, you will be "R'd." If your secondary application passes muster, you may be selected for an interview. If not, you will be "R'd" at the secondary application phase. You cannot be accepted without an interview, but typically only 50-60% of those interviewed will be accepted. There is also the possibility of being waitlisted. It is quite the process. [/quote]
