Today I spoke with my Advisor. She recommended that I retake my MCAT as it would look bad not to since I still have a lot of time before submitting my application in June. She told me that medical schools may question my decision not to retake because of the low verbal.
My MCAT score is a 34.
13- BS
9- VR
12-PS
My response to her suggestion was that it may look desperate to retake just to raise my score in Verbal by 1 point. I also made it a point to get across to her that there are a lot of other, more productive activities I could participate in rather than restudying for the MCAT. She also said that if I had gotten an 8 in verbal, she would have definitely recommended that I retake.
What do you think? Retake or not?
