To score more than 30 on ur mcat is considered quite competitive... Nonetheless, one shud always aim for something more than the average, so if you consistently score 9 (which is above average by the way) on each section of MCAT, then you would probably have a competitive edge and you actually do (9x3=27 )The above scenario is based by taking US med schools in consideration. I'm assuming a score on MCAT administered by AMCC would hold more value than a "MCAT" score on exams directed by pak med schools  . Thus, your MCAT score, in my opinion, would definitely hold its prestige  However, as medgrunt already mentioned, that one shud always have a backup plan if things don't go as planned

You'll just want to call the student affairs office and confirm that they get your application. E-mail might work as well, not sure about how quick they are at responding.

Join Date: May 2008 Status: Other Location: USA | that sucks; my cousin is at AIM and said their dorms have generators, one would assume shifa would as well. anywho, electricity isnt too much of a problem after a while, there are those charging lights and fans available, pretty cheap and pretty good, it would be pretty easy to adjust. |
