2nd MCAT. Not sure what to think

So I just took my second MCAT today and despite feeling well about the BS and PS sections, I feel I may have under performed on the VR section again. I practiced for a whole month after my last Fall semester and I was making improvements.

I took the Aug 15 Exam and ended up at the low end of my range 10/6/10 PS/VR/BS

What happens if my new MCAT involves better science scores and slightly better or same VR score 😱.

I just think it would be awful to end up with say a 12/7-8/13 or something along those lines even though its above 30 composite.

I have a 3.7 overall GPA with a steep upward trend sophomore year through senior year. (Every semester was a 4.0, Bio Major).

I've worked in a lab, volunteered for 250 hours at a level 1 trauma center, Peer leader for physics study groups, EMT for about a year but had to quit due to injury. I'm also part of the medicina scholars program at my state medical school.

I just don't know what to think, I was set on MD but at this point I'd be fine with D.O.
Are my chances still okay?

Any advice? I feel like i shot myself in the foot again. 😕

Thank you for reading!

OK, you need to relax, take a deep breath, and try really hard to put the MCAT out of your mind until you get your score back. There's nothing you can do...you can't even worry about a retake right now because things are changing over. So breathe, go out and hang with your friends, play video games, whatever you want. Just don't worry about an MCAT score that you can't change and don't even know yet.

3.7/26 is fine for DO, relax
