Exactly what do you define as a very low MCAT score?
Thank you guys so much for the feedback, it lifted up my spirits!
Stats are:
3.88 cGPA, 3.86 sGPA
518 MCAT
Around 1000 hours of research (three separate research, only summer)
Nearly 500 hours of clinical volunteering
400 hours nonclinical volunteering
Strong letters
1 pub as first author, named outstanding researcher for a summer of research, several poster presentations and leadership roles.
It's mid-June, you've got one "very low MCAT score," and you are "considering retaking." That's a recipe for a late application with two low scores.
Nice catch.❤️
The 518 was me just thinking I was going to get that score. Ended up way lower than that smh but nice catch lol
Hubris is a dangerous sin.
This was not an answer to my question and is not helpful at all.
I mean you're on the verge of doing the same thing twice. Before you got your MCAT score or maybe even before you took the exam you came here to plan about what you would do with a hypothetical score.
You need to learn to read between the lines. It was helpful, regardless of whether or not it was something you wanted to hear.
lol I already have my MCAT score just not that score. I just know he is mean to me all the time.
I think Bwesternn meant waiting on retaking your MCAT. I agree, I think you shouldn't rush to retake and risk not getting a good score again. Also for what it's worth, I didn't read Goro's response as mean, just frank. He's right that being too confident and taking an MCAT again too soon and getting two low scores back to back will not look good. The important question here is: do you feel confident that you will do better on this june MCAT? How have your practice scores been?
Goro is the best kitty ever. And @Moko is the fluffiest boy.
Others have already commented on this, but I can't resist. This is an anonymous forum, one in which nobody gains anything from singling out and tearing YOU down.
