I just received my MCAT scores from the October 21st test. I got a 31 (9V, 11BS, 11PS). I have a 3.93 GPA. In terms of extracurriculars, I have about 200 hours of volunteering at hospitalsand plan on trying to get an internship this summer and do some shadowing before I apply. I've never cared very much about getting into the Harvards and Johns Hopkins of the world, but I do feel that I am limiting somewhat my opportunities with this MCAT score. Everyone says that you shouldn't retake a score above a 30, but I thought maybe it would be a different strategy now that the test is changing. Then again, there is the opportunity cost issue and I'm not sure if it would be worth it in the end. For what it's worth, my score was approximately my average on the AAMCs, which went as low as 29 in the beginning and up to 35 in the end. I am also a white male and a junior, if that makes any difference. Thanks!
