retake

Dat

Hi everyone. I took the MCAT September 9th and received a 508 (127/125/126/130). I did sign up to retake on March 24th but I have been on the fence on whether or not I should retake. I feel like I can do better but am worried that because I haven't been studying much and am now working full time...

I took the MCAT Sept 2, and got a score of 509. 126/127/127/129. 80th percentile overall. I know I scored right at the national average of people who were accepted into medical school. I am not super disappointed with my score, but I was not happy. I know I can do better. I took the two AAMC...

Hi, I am concerned with my prerequisite GPA as they are pretty low. Here are my stats (I plan on applying cycle of 2018) GPA => 3.26 but aim to be higher as I have one quarter left. cGPA now => 2.83 (with retaking classes => 3.3) (Bio I = C+, Chem II = C+) GRE = V 148 Q 157 Writing 4.0 (Plan to...

Hey everybody. I am a recent graduate with a good upward trend in my last 70 or so units, which were also heavy in the sciences . Unfortunately, my freshman and beginning sophomore year were not so hot. I was thinking about taking courses at the local city college in my town and was wondering...

Hey everyone, I don't post often so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm a junior, pre-med at a Top 20 university (if that makes any difference). I took Chemistry my freshman year at an accelerated level and got destroyed in Chem 2 with a C-. I understand that means I'll have to...

Hey all, I have had a pretty rough semester. I guess I would like some reassurance (if possible). I want to go to medical school but I am literally in danger of failing two classes. I have been busting my ass and trying to pull through but I do not know if that will be enough as the semester...

My first attempt with MCAT has been horrible. I registered to take it in May 2017 and thought that I could prepare for it while going to school in Spring 2017, but I was wrong and had to reschedule it to June 2017. Couple of weeks before the test, life happened and I had to reschedule it again...

Hey! I had a question that I tried looking for but can't seem to find an answer for it. So basically I got a D in physics in my local community college, then Transferred to a university and got a B+ in physics. The D is really hurting my GPA so I was thinking about retaking it at that community...

I have been going through many many forums and taking advice from those who have been in similar situations as myself. One piece of advice that I am learning is very very true in pre med is how a professor can really make or break your chance of success. My situation is this: I have taken 3...

Hi guys I already applied for this cycle with AA 19. Do you guys think it will make any difference for this cycle if I retake DAT (by the end of December) and let the schools now that I am retaking it? or it will make no difference even if I get a higher score since I already applied?

Hi! I just got my scores back from the Sept. 9th 2017 MCAT and got an overall score of 508 -508 overall score -My breakdown was (128,124,128,128) -My Science and cummulative GPA is: 3.90 -I have a lot of research experience with a 1st author publication in a good journal and will be at another...

I'm in a rock and a hard place and I'm just now starting to reevaluate my options. I graduated with a 2.9 GPA after double majoring in psychology and neuroscience and minoring in biology. I thought more was better and rushing out in 3 years instead of 4 would "look" even greater. I was wrong. I...

Hey all, I received my score of 130/126/131/130. Should I retake it? This was the first time I've taken the MCAT. I am hoping to get into a Canadian med school. Thanks!

So I just took the PCAT again and I'm a little discouraged because I scored less this time. So July 2017: Bio:41 Chem:87 Crit R.:69 Quant:47 Comp:64 And September 2017 Bio:58 Chem:55 Crit R: 72 Quant: 57 Comp: 60 Just wondering what my chances are with this score. I'm applying to six schools...

I got a B- in chem II at my undergrad institute, and now I'm doing a post-bacc. Does it even make sense to retake for a B-, or would adcoms see that I improved and take that into consideration on my app later on (assuming I get an A)? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! I've been trying to find a thread that matched with my situation the most, but I cannot seem to find any. But I really need advice and some help! I was set to take the DAT this early September but I do not feel ready at all. I've studied everything but my scores in QR/Math and General...

I'd appreciate any advice for my situation asap!! I plan to go to an MD school and am aiming for the 508 on my real MCAT. I've been studying for 3 months consecutively and been improving slightly but I just took the official FL 1 a few days ago and got hit with a 501. My previous scores are...

Applying to DO school but received a LOW mcat score. 499. My GPA is a AO 3.98, TOTAL 3.72 BCPM 3.5.(Attended a National Top 5 Public University) Should I retake the MCAT in JANUARY and wait to apply to DO School, or apply now and tell them I am planning on retaking.

A few weeks ago, I submitted my primary application to medical schools. In this application, I included my first MCAT attempt score (507) but I retook the MCAT a few weeks ago and won't have my updated score until August 1st. I indicated this on my primary app. I have received secondaries to...

Hey all, Here is my situation. I took the MCAT last year in April but did not get the score I wanted. I held off until this year to apply. I am taking the again MCAT for the second time Sept 9th but still have my old score from last year which brings me to my questions: 1) Will I be considered...

Hi guys! I received my MCAT score today (6/1 exam) and got a 504 (129/125/125/125). I felt confident in the CARS and Psych sections so I am not sure why it didn't reflect in my score, but I know I am capable of something higher. My cGPA is 3.71 and sGPA is 3.75. My activities include research, a...

Hi! I am a Florida resident and the first time I took the MCAT, I got a 499 (terrible score I know). The second MCAT (506) Science GPA= 3.60 Total GPA = 3.75 I am applying to MD and DO schools. Is there still a chance for MD schools? Any advice on DO school list? So far, I have NOVA, LECOM...

So I didn't do very well on my first MCAT attempt in January and I am retaking in August. Everyone keeps saying to apply early. If I apply before my MCAT retake will schools wait to review my application? Or will they look at it, and then take my second scores into account? I am applying to both...

Hi Everyone! So I'm applying MD and am really only concerned about my grades in Orgo 1 and 2. My school does lab and lecture separately so for Orgo 1 I ended up with a C+ in lecture (3 credit hours) and an A- in lab (1 credit). For Orgo 2, I had a C in lecture (3 credits) and an A in lab (1...

Some schools ask to explain any fluctuations in my academic record or provide them with additional information. I got a 511 the first time I took my MCAT, improved it to a 522 the second time. I think I didn't do so well the first time because I studied really hard to get a good grade, and ended...

Hey all, I took the 5/19 test but voided because i did not feel prepared going into it. I've been studying non-stop since then and have been seeing improvement and wanted input on how my schedule looks. I'm taking my new test on 6/29. Here are my scores in order taken: AAMC sample (3/26/17)...

Hello! I am applying to MD and DO schools this cycle and am trying to decide if I should retake the MCAT. Here are my stats: cGPA: 3.94 sGPA: 3.99 MCAT: 506 (C/P: 128, CARS: 123, B/B: 126, P/S: 129) I have worked for two years in the OR and ICU at a big city hospital so I have gained tons of...

I just took the full length with a headache and kinda rushed through it with ~20 mins left on each section and scored a ~507. I did try my best but focus was definitely lacking. That being said, should I retake if I got a 33 from my first one?

Hey everyone, I just received my MCAT scores today: Chem/Phys: 128 CARS: 128 Bio/Biochem: 127 Psych/Soc.: 124 :( Total: 507 I'm trying to decide if I should retake? I planned on applying to both MD and DO schools. That 124 in Psych/Soc looks pretty bad i.m.o. but I wanted to get some input...

I am scheduled to take the DAT June 2nd and have been study for about 2 months already but have scored roughly the same score on all three practice DAT tests I have taken (16/17/17) and realized that I had to reexamine my study strategy. I have about 20 days till the test and I am feeling...

Hey all!, So i took my first MCAT march 31st. I felt like going into it i was going to get at least a 505. I came out feeling uneasy and scored a 496 :/. Now that i graduated and application cycles are about to open i feel i should retake my exam and as i apply check the little box on AMCAS...

Hello everyone. I took my MCAT in late April and voided it because I went in with no sleep and I got sick, and I was 100% positive that the score would be poor and not what I studied for. I also knew I wasn't totally ready, and all those things that happened made it hard to really try my best. I...

Hey guys, I'm a 3rd year at my university, and I am freaking out because my plans turned sideways. I received a C- in Chem2A (general chemistry first quarter), and a lot of PT schools want at least C. I can't retake it at my university because a C- is "passing" for them. I can't retake it at...

Hey guys! So now that we're getting into May, I'm starting to look at this upcoming application cycle. I applied last cycle and received one interview at UDM, which placed me on their waitlist. My LOR's weren't mailed out until September 2, so I feel like I may have messed up by not getting...

Okay, so I have lurked on SDN for months and I know I'm like the one millionth person posting one of these but I could use some advice on this. PA: 20 QR: 17 RC: 22 BIO: 18 GC: 22 OC: 23 TS: 21 AA: 20 oGPA: 3.5, sGPA: 3.5 (3.8 oGPA last 64 credit hours) I feel like I have some pretty vanilla...
