"The director of admissions told us about a study correlating MCAT scores to step 1 of USMLE. The study found that the MCAT is usually a great predictor of step 1 scores, except for at SIU where there are consistently students who had scored lower on the MCAT but above average on step 1. That problem-based-learning must really be something great if the students have that much improvement!" Report Response
"Acceptances are given out in three batches. The higher your score is on the AWPA list, the better chance that you will get accepted. They never offer more acceptances at one time than their max class size. So last year, to get a class of 72 they extended a total of 155 acceptances throughout application season, which is about half of those who interviewed." Report Response
