The average MCAT score each year is somewhere around a 24 (8 in each section). A good (competitive at most MD schools) score is around 30 and a stellar score is somewhere above a 34 to 36 (competitive at the top medical schools in the country). A score of 36 or better would put you in the top 2% of the country.
We offer our take on the MCAT score, and what we think âgoodâ means, as well as other factors that we find important when applying to medical school. In order to figure out what a good MCAT score is, we need to take a look at the statistics from all tests administered worldwide in 2012, totaling 89,452 total students: MCAT scores range from 3-45. 1  Average Total Score Worldwide: 25.2, with a standard deviation of 6.4.  Average MCAT Score - Physical Sciences (PS): 8.4.
