What is MCAT 2018 Percentile Ranks?

The MCAT score card 2018 also provides the MCAT score in percentile. The percentile rank of a test taker depicts the percentage of candidates who have obtained the MCAT scores which are similar to or lower than the candidate. The percentile scores project a comparative performance of candidates who appear for the MCAT test. Candidates should note that every year on May 1, the percentile ranks are updated using data from one or more testing years.

Hii...I wanted to enquire if an agriculture bsc student can appear for MCAT?

Shivang Dubey 26th May, 2020

Hey Ankita

To be eligible for Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) you need to have a MBBS degree and for other courses you need to have a special permission from AAMC authorities.

Also for giving MCAT a student must have interest in Allopathic, Osteopathic, Podiatric and Veterinary.

Considering your case, sorry but you won't be eligible for MCAT as Agriculture is not related to Bio-Medical or Health related studies. For more information follow; MCAT Careers360

Hi,

Well as far as I know then a student need to complete a bachelor's degree with the pre medicine track in order to eligible for medical school and then they take MCAT for admission in medical courses. Diploma is not appropriate and you need the pre med track of course.

I hope my answer helps.

All the best.
