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.
If both MCAT and GPA are lower, admission to medical school becomes much harder. However, having said that, there is more to the overall application than the MCAT and GPA alone. An otherwise stellar application can also overcome a lower GPA and MCAT score â to a point. The 3.0 GPA is a cutoff for most medical schools.However, some applicants are accepted every year that have a lower GPA, so this value is by no means absolute. Again, it all depends on the strength of the overall applicationâ¦and the MCAT score.For example, for the 2005 school year, 155 applicants were accepted to allopathic medical schools (out of 17,978 total accepted that year) with a GPA that was lower than a 2.75.f both MCAT and GPA are lower, admission to medical school becomes much harder. However, having said that, there is more to the overall application than the MCAT and GPA alone. An otherwise stellar application can also overcome a lower GPA and MCAT score â to a point.
