    Is my MCAT score unbalanced? Should I retake for a third time?

    I took the MCAT twice - the first time being the old MCAT (10PS, 8VR, 12BS), and the second time being the 2015 MCAT (130PS, 128CARS, 130BS, 125PSYC). 1. Is this an unbalanced score? 2. I am trying to reapply for this cycle. Is my MCAT score a weakness and a reason why I didn't get into any...

    Is it a good idea?

    Is it a good idea to take the MCAT even though I haven't taken physics, biochem, and soc yet? Which prep books are the best to buy that teaches these 3 subjects very well to get a good enough score on the MCAT since I haven't even take those 3 classes yet?

    School Specific MCAT Cut Off ***For each sub-section***

    Hello all, Does anyone know of any specific osteopathic school cut off values for the sections of the MCAT? As an example, would school "X" disqualify any applicant with an MCAT section score less than 125 for the new MCAT? Thanks
