Depends on what your overall score is.

By itself no, it's okay for low tiers

what's the CARS test? is it like a foreign mcat?

SDN at its finest. This is somewhere between a 9-10.

10 is a very good score. And as gyngyn likes to say "9 is fine don't whine".

Non issue. Next.

CARS is the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills section on the "new" MCAT somewhat equivalent to VR, Verbal Reasoning in the "old" MCAT

Yeah I should have been a bit more clear I was converting MCAT verbal percentiles to the CARs score. There is no perfect correlation between the two tests and really until there's several years of data I'm guessing even ADCOMs probably will still have some questions as to how much the two correlate and how to interpret CARs but it seems to be the closest approximation to the old MCAT verbal.

You basically have a V 9 and Composite 31
Should be fine as long as you aren't Californian

I'm applying with a 124 CARS score and I already have an II. The fact that you're worried about applying with a 126 literally made me laugh out loud (sorry). You're in good shape!
