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.
What does this all really mean? It means that the average test-taker out of the near 90,000 scored a 25.2 on the exam. If your MCAT score is between the 25.2 and 31.6-point range, you will be placed in the 50th-83rd percentile. If you have a total MCAT score of 31.6 (one standard deviation above the mean) or higher you per-formed strong on the test and beat approximately 84% of your fellow test takers.
