It annoys me how some people with 90 something percentiles and good LCs dont think they will get med just because they are 3 or 4 points off last years course. ive a score of 731 and am fairly confident ill get UCC
Mog57 wrote: » My med dream is over this year I'm afraid! I only got 555 in the LC - significantly lower than I was hoping for. However my question is this: has anybody gotten medicine on a LC of 555 before? - i.e should I be repeating HPAT and LC or just HPAT? How risky would you guys think it would be just to go for the HPAT repeat? I got the 85th percentile this year, so will probably miss med by between 3-7 points. Just wondering if anyone has any opinion RE my position or has heard of anyone getting in on 555 before? Thanks in advance
