Hi guys, any advice would be much appreciated! little lost.
so took the MCAT 05/29/2022 somewhat blindly (didn't study properly for it & had to wing it -- scored 489
this time I studied a lot more for it, still not as much as I probably should have/not properly (noticed I didn't take FL practice exams timed and so I was taking way too much time on questions. when i took this next exam I did run out of time on the Bio section. --- MCAT 6/03/2023 --> 488
graduated from college May 2021. GPA was around 3.4 (cumulative and science). I do have a very good upward trend. have been working as a medical assistant during my gap years. Have plenty of ECs, leadership, volunteer, community service, and got all of my strong. LORs already. also URM if that matters.
I plan to retake the MCAT 9/9/2023 (if my practice FL scores prior show that I am getting 500+).
Would it be wise for me to go ahead and submit my primary app now to AACOMAS and a few schools (to get verification process going) and indicate I'm retaking the exam? Or should I wait until October after I receive my new score to make sure?
I know my chances are slim with my stats being so low, but I still really want to try applying this cycle. Please let me know what y'all think! Thank you so much in advance.
