Extrapolating from stats on the AAMC 'All Applicants' grid, with a 3.56/29, past applicants had about a 34% chance of an MD acceptance. You might consider holding off on taking the MCAT unless you also plan to apply to DO med schools, or until your practice tests are consistently scored in the 32 range (53% chance) or 35 range (65% chance).

well my thought process was that I just take it (because after this date I am unable to take the mcat until late august due to prior commitments)

and then just let schools receive my updated scores around the time my secondaries are submitted (in the case i do poorly on my actual mcat)

although it sucks, i will continue to study after i take the mcat on june 16th straight until august (the next date i am free to take it) =\

thoughts?

thoughts?

You might also plan on improving your cGPA/BCPM over the next year, letting schools know about it via update letters.
