Worth rushing a second MCAT take to avoid a gap year?

[Drew28982898]

My score release for my first attempted MCAT is on the 27th, however, I do not feel so good at all about it. I have continued some (albeit minimal) studying for it since the June 26th MCAT and was considering going FULL time and signing up for the July 30 exam just in case. I could ofc cancel it if it worked out somehow. I just graduated, so I'm already applying later than most and would like to avoid taking yet another gap year if possible. I'm worried because the 2nd score would be coming late, and may not improve significantly (I heard taking it 3 times is bad?). My primary is verified already., 3.9c/3.75s GPA, and avg EC's (1 research pub, 2k clinical hours), disadvantaged background. I do have FAP but only added my 2 state schools currently though while waiting for MCAT. Would you just ride it out and pray, or take the exam?

I stopped reading right here to answer no. Wait for your actual score before overthinking this.
