Admissions blog: MythBusters: MCAT scores higher than the minimum increase your chances of admission to U of T Medicine

This myth is false.

For U of T Medicine, MCAT is used as a threshold or flag in the admissions process. It is looked at on its own – not in combination with an applicant’s GPA. Therefore, scoring higher than the minimum required on MCAT does not enhance your application in any way.
