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.
In addition, here are some other details about MCAT scoring that can help you assess your target score. Each of the four sections of the MCAT is scored from 118 to 132, with the mean and median at 125. This means the total score ranges from 472 to 528, with the mean and median at 500.
