Notes:
The column labeled Percentile Rank provides the percentage of scores equal to or less than each score point. These
percentile ranks are based on all MCAT results from the 2015 and 2016 testing years combined. For example, 77% of MCAT
total scores were equal to or less than 508 across all exams administered in 2015 and 2016 combined.
Updates to the percentile ranks will be made on May 1st each year. Begining in 2018, the percentile ranks will be updated
with all exam results from the most recent three years.
