What’s a Good Enough MCAT Score?

It's no secret, your MCAT is arguably the most heavily weighted objective measurement when it comes to getting into medical school. Admissions committees want to see that you can handle the rigors that come with a medical school curriculum, and they feel your MCAT score is the best indicator they have. But what score counts as enough? Let's find out.

Just decided to take my MCAT again recently and this couldn’t have been better timed. My previous ineffective methods are definitely the reason why I didn’t get the score I know I can. Thanks Dr. J for this perfectly timed video 🙏🏾

I got a 511 on my MCAT. As an applicant who really wanted to go to school in California, I thought I was doomed (Cali is super competitive). Ended up getting into 8 schools, 2 of which are in Cali. Testament to how the MCAT score isn't everything. If you get the average or slightly below, just work on becoming the most kick ass human being. Someone that med schools would be stupid to reject.

Dunno why I'm watching this while I'm waiting for Match Day 😂

I'm going to college next fall and will be on the pre-med track and your videos really help me out.

[jesusperez]

I saw a commercial on YT about raising your MCAT score. So I had to find out what it was. Now that I do. I have more faith in the ppl who treat me. But I'm also glad I don't have to worry about this because I am not a med student.

[trishag]

This is so amazing! you're helping so many people!

[johnlocke]

My sister took the MCAT the other day and has been really struggling. I'll send this to her!!

And why I watch videos about getting into medical school is a complete mystery. Maybe it speaks to the quality of the channel.

[Djme]

Im an MS2 so hopefully my mcat score was good enough

[alontelewis]

Honestly I watch your Chanel so many times but I never knew your name

[Baldwinthefourth-]

NO ITS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH!! THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE BETTER AND BRIGHTER. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try :)

[joventapiador]

This is probably the best channel out there

[kidcardi]

all you pre-meds don't forget to look into getting a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine rather than MD/DO.... less stressful application cycle and guaranteed surgical residency if that's what you're looking for... all I'm saying is look into it.. ;)

Can you do a video on becoming a doctor after the military? Given being older than the typical applicant, having premed and most of medical school payed for in Texas (GI bill, and Hazelwood act), what we could do during the military to increase our chances of getting accepted ect.

[genevieveseto]

hi can you do a video of prerequisites for med school in high school and pre med. Also, do students need to do surgeries in med school because my hands shake a little. However, I only want to become a neurologist. Or what other medical professions are good for shaky hands?

[Unknown-knvx]

Hey Kevin,

With the merging of M.D. and D.O residencies, could we expect to see an equalizing of prestige among the two degrees? Also, could acceptance credentials to M.D and D.O. Schools become equal aswell?

[FurkinAmazing]

I got a 517 and havent gotten a single interview this cycle. man my essays mustve been complete dogshit lol

[kiritodragneel]

[correlationalanalysis]

Hi Dr. Jubbal! How are you? I love your videos and I was wondering if you can make a video on what is impostor syndrome and how a student can overcome impostor syndrome. Have a wonderful day and keep up with the good work :)

[doublethebenjamin]

Top university? I would be happy to get into any med school, particularly at one of my state schools
