MCAT scores are only part of the equation. It is kind of a sliding scale. The minimum MCAT score I have heard of is about a 27 with stellar grades at a state school. For a white male (because they are the majority applying) he needs to have great grades, great MCAT scores (above 9 in each section) and great extracurriculars. Something needs to make him stand out. If he's Valedictorian from his College, than he can be at the lower end of the MCAT. The same if he is on a major publication. If he has borderline grades, he better be taking classes to study for the MCAT or be ready to take it again if he doesn't make a high score. One part of the package has to shine. That's my two cents.
