2.11) What is a good MCAT score?

Traditionally a good score is "double digits" (10 or better) on each
test, and a score of at least "N" on the essay. You can get into
medical school with lower scores, depending on the rest of your
application and on the medical school. For your state medical
school, a total score of 27 or higher, with no individual score less
than 8, is probably sufficient. It is important to have a well
balanced MCAT score, with no individual score markedly lower than
the rest of the test. For example, a score of 8,8,8 (total 24) is
generally considered superior to a score of 10,10,5 (total 25).
