The peak incidence of acute gout occurs between 30 and 50 years of age.8 Approximately 90 percent of first attacks are monoarticular. In more than one half of patients with acute gout, the first metatarsophalangeal joint is the initial joint involved, a condition known as podagra (Figure 1).
The minimal total MCAT score is 24 for the old MCAT or a total score of 495 for MCAT2015 (new MCAT) on either of the most recent MCAT tests reported. The committee will look at both old and new MCAT scores and if either meets the 24 (most recent on old exam) or 495 (most recent on new) then the MCAT minimum for consideration for interview is met.
It varies. In the US, your MCAT score is typically given as much weight as your GPA. And if there is a large discrepancy between your MCAT score and GPA, the tendency is to give your MCAT score more weight. In Canada, the MCAT is not quite as important â although you still need stellar MCAT scores to be admitted to med school.
