So we can talk about all things MCAT 2015.
Just registered too!

I'm pleased with my results
517 total
129 for Physics/Chem, Psych, and Verbal, 130 for Biology.
What does this convert to old scale? 96 percentile.
Don't let Kaplan scare you! Your scores are much better than mine ever were on the kaplan FLs and I ended up getting a 509 on the real thing. So you should be fine, however don't walk into the exam thinking that the real thing will be any easier either
According to the old score distributions (assuming percentiles don't change), that will give you the equivalent of an 8 or a 9. Most likely an 8. This will be surmountable when applying to mid-tier schools because it looks like you killed it in other sections, but I don't think a top-tier school would be ok with an 8 in any section. If I were you I would either apply more mid-tier than top-tier or, if absolutely deadset on applying nearly exclusively top-tier, just retake the thing. But honestly, there are great mid-tier schools and you did well in every other section so retaking it is seeming a bit nonsensical to me even as I type this.

I need some advice from you experts. Is this good enough to go ahead and apply to MD schools? I'm not looking to get into Harvard mind you.

Do you really think so? I am being honest about my thoughts. I mean everyone on this forum is doing much better than I did.Stop. Please. Stop the crap. Apply to your schools . You did good.

I used Altius's MCAT Everywhere online program. It's the online materials I used other than the AAMC FL and the AAMC Official Guide, which are both part of Altius's program. Never opened a textbook or any class notes, just studied straight from their prep materials and did what they said to do.For anyone who got above a 518, what materials did you use?
Never mind what kalana says - we are experts here at SDN and pride ourselves on our expertise. You, my friend, would not be wasting your money by applying.
Did I tell the individual he/she will be wasting money? Or did I discourage them? Good bye.
Welp I guess I'll be the first one with the guts to post a low score lol

Good thing I took the July test lol congrats to all you guys who did great though. You inspire me
Experts? Call the medical school of your interest. Individuals on this forum are not experts.
This might be a little extreme, but while a lot of people here clearly know their **** it is generally good advice not to put too much stock in advice you don't receive directly from a medical school about this sort of thing.
Like many I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out:
C/P: 129

B/BC: 130
P/S: 128

Congrats to everyone who got what they wanted - you guys are wild. Lets all go get blitzed.
What did you use for study materials for CARS?Thanks man - I've been grinning like a fool since about 3:00
What did you use for study materials for CARS?
Either you are the same guy from reddit or ur just using his pic
Princeton, Kaplan pysch + FL , Old AAMC tests, EK psych EK 1001For anyone who got above a 518, what materials did you use?
Im a July taker anyway haha Wasn't a 45 MCAT something literally impossible- has anyone heard anyone get it? I'm just surprised how there was a 528 in the third session of this new testEither you are the same guy from reddit or ur just using his pic
I felt pretty neutral. Knew I hadn't blown it but had no idea I would score as high as I did.
Pysch seemed very rough at the time but did fine. I probably guessed between two on more than 20 questions
how did you feel after writing the CARS, and what was your CARS score on the AAMC FL?510

CARS: 131

I should be good for DO, right? That physics worries me a bit.
