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
no secondary this year despite getting one last year and having a higher mcat now :c #whatdahellyante

That's odd, when did u get verified?

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
no ucsf today?
anyone get the information session email?
Good luck with the upcoming UCSFridays, everyone!! Current M1 here—if you get that A, come here. The opportunities, community, and scale of this institution is bonkers. can’t recommend enough!!
