In an attempt to take the MCAT before the 2015 change I rushed my studying and got a 22. I studied again this last summer for the 2015 MCAT and received a 505 (CARS 125, Physical/Chem 127, Bio 128, Psych/Socio 125). At this point I'm set on MD (may consider DO at a later date) and I've already applied for the 2016 cycle to mostly low tier schools (applied in late September 2015).
I am a Caucasian male who is a CA resident. My cGPA is 3.78 and my sGPA is 3.82.
I have read in AAMC's "Using MCAT Data in 2016 Medical Student Selection" that applicants with new and old version MCAT scores should only be chosen based on their new version scores. This makes me wonder if I retook the MCAT if it would be considered only a second try?
Should I retake the MCAT or just hope for the best this round and apply early next round?
Thanks!
