Hey everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster. I just received my MCAT score today, and I'm pretty bummed. This was the break down:
Chem/Phys: 126 (68%)
CARS: 122 (25%...sheesh)
Bio/Biochem: 127 (78%)
Psych/Soc: 127 (78%)
With my GPA in consideration, would I get screened out with this score? I took the MCAT in June of 2015, and received an awful 497 (42%). I was determined to improve my CARS section, so I took a gap year and took the test again on May 20th. With only an 18% increase because of my detrimentally low CARS section, would adcoms ever take the rest of my application into consideration? I already applied to 16 MD programs on June 10th, but now I am looking into shadowing a DO just in case..
If it is any help, I am a first-generation American and Arabic is my first language. Any advice would be a great help! Thanks everyone.
