Sorry if it wasn't clear! GPA is found on the title. I thought that was clear MCAT score should be coming in the next few weeks. What kind of score should I be looking at? If and below a certain score should I really retake the MCAT?

You can become a physician with scores of about 25 and greater. Where you should apply will depend on that score, however.
