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 April through September in 2015. For example, 79% of MCAT total
scores were equal to or less than 508 across all exams administered in 2015.
• In the future, updates will be made on May 1 each year. In 2017, the percentile ranks will include all exam results from the
previous two years. In 2018, the percentile ranks will include all exam results from the previous three years. After 2018,
percentile ranks will be updated annually to include all exam results from the three most recent years.
