MCAT Great but not Uniform

[The8]

So, I got a 130, 126, 132, 131 on my MCAT, so 519 overall and I practiced alot of CARS averaging around a 127 on practice tests. Now, I have never been great at CARS because I never studied for the SAT like an idiot and didn't do very much English in high school - I am a mathematical guy and I'm more into creative writing. I was wondering how detrimental this 126 will be to me getting into top 20/30s?


I have a 3.99 GPA in mathematics and I do quite alot of things, am in a fraternity and am president of a club. I was VERY happy with my score but then as the happiness sank in I was like eh.... I don't know about that 126.
Any suggestions, or beliefs about this....

I got a 126 on my practice AAMC test too and now looking back regret doing more of their material because I would get anywhere from 124 to 129 on TPR, NextStep and Kaplan.... had me very surprised that I got this low.

You got a 519. That's, what, 97-98th percentile? Simmer down. You killed your MCAT, now focus on the rest of your application.

Man, I feel like I need to collaborate with people like you more or something . I got 128/130/129/128
But really, you're fine and have a great score. Don't even worry about it.

You are focusing on the immaterial.
Show good judgement and do not explain this in an optional essay!

Are you one of those people who feel that any grade less than perfect is a failure?

@Goro
Dude, heavens no. I did pretty bad on my SAT, maybe 70th percentile.... but didnt put the work in. I put a heavy amount of work in the MCAT maybe 32 practice tests so don't get me wrong i am ecstatic with my score but am still a little surprised that I actually did worse on critical reading after doing test company verbal practice..... its just funny honestly.
