I took the MCAT back in August and ended up with a 36 (14B/13P/9V.)
I'm wondering if I should retake if my average MCAT verbal is an 11-12, and I'm very confident if I retook the MCAT I could pull that off. I'm worried that my other two scores will drop though, because I only have 3 weeks to restudy for the MCAT after finals before my new test date, Jan. 10. For a school like Vandy or Duke, do you think it's worth retaking? I'm not sure how many top schools superscore to make it worth it.
Would my verbal score be viewed as just a fluke/mess up on my part and is it really worth retaking and taking the risk of my overall score dropping but verbal going up?
GPA is 3.9/4 and solid overall application otherwise.
