Hi! I think you should if you think you can score either the same or better in the other sections. 123 is very low for CARS. I think this is great for DO. Also, congratulations on your score. You did very well!
If its your second language, I would explain that in secondaries in the "optional essay" and in interviews if they ask. This info is also indicated in your primary. They cannot penalize you for being disadvantaged (taking this difficult test in your second tongue against a curve filled with native speakers). I heard adcoms understand this.
Check the TMDSAS link on secondaries. They're listed out on there!
I know... this thread was my crutch for the last couple weeks before the exam. All the stress, all the laughter... man. Going back to this thread and flipping through some old posts makes me realize just how far we've come
We made it!
Was wondeing this too
Haha while a lot of her posts were "annoying" to put it lightly, I didn't know that was grounds for being banned. If that were the case, half of sdn would be banned
Yeah cant that person easily make another account?Haha while a lot of her posts were "annoying" to put it lightly, I didn't know that was grounds for being banned. If that were the case, half of sdn would be banned

Why not just wait? It's best to minimize the # of times you take it!
Nothing here yet, but I'm in an smp so I'm not expecting anything until at least some of the smp grades have posted. Still have a few secondaries to complete, was considering not doing them, but think I'll end up panic submitting
It'll be worth it!
I've submitted 10 and I have 3 more almost ready to go. That is half that I submitted on my primary, but I applied to a lot of schools that I had no business applying to as well so maybe it is fine that I skip the secondaries for those. SMP is going okay, I'm really happy with the program I chose, but 3 weeks in and I'm already behind. Logistically I didn't set myself up well, I moved to a state that I'd never been before the day before orientation and I had absolutely nothing for my apartment and it was really stressful. I think everything will be good once the first exam is done on Friday, but I wouldn't be behind if I didn't spend days setting my life up/shopping/assembling Ikea furniture.
Whoa, how'd you remember??

And no, that wasn't why I didn't apply. I just felt overwhelmed with my relatively recent decision to switch to medicine from science and thought another year would be good for me.
Fair enough. I remember almost everything I read on here as well..hahaI may or may not have lived on this forum for a couple days this year...
I applaud that decision; I also applaud taking the MCAT at such an early stage... And scoring so well.
Absolutely nothing wrong with waiting -- sort of hating myself for rushing everything this year. Feel that I sold myself short by only studying 2 months for the MCAT... Paying for it not, but have to go through with this cycle because I started it.
Having worked two years as a medical scribe, I feel very ready for something new and wanted to submit this year regardless.
Internet ramble over.
I'll be contrarian, my biggest regret was not focusing more on content review. I knew I was a good test taker, my problem was filling in the gaps with knowledge. I'd recommend everyone take one full length fairly early on and seeing how comfortable they are with the format. I only ended up doing one actual full length once I realized I was okay with the test taking aspect of it.
I hope we all receive some good news later in this cycle
