Literally this lol. UCSF has the lowest median of the T20 yet nobody would put it outside the T3.

I think Umich has a similar median

i heard that ucsf sends on fridays, is that true for mstp too or just md?

Seems like it's true for both, a couple people reported MSTP IIs last Friday alongside the MD people.

Also, lmao at anyone who thinks having a sky-high MCAT is necessary to be a good doctor. Like I'm saying this as someone with a 520+, so not coping, but it's loser mentality to think that a standardized test is the sole arbiter for whether someone will be a good physician or not. I think it's really good that UCSF is one of the few top schools that's willing to take a serious look at applicants with lower test scores who demonstrate high potential in other ways.

Later than my last cycle (did throwaway for a pending MCAT), verified about a month later compared to my prior one. Even if I get so late I might not send...too burnt out but the discourse about MCAT scores giving me a chuckle

some people do not understand that mcat is just one part of the application, a lot of other factors are just as important if not more

a good mcat is almost always necessary but never sufficient in securing an A at a top school
