NY, decent. CA, so so.
Is that your only MCAT?

Second attempt, why?
Which schools would you recommend? Both NY and CA.

For the NYC region your best chances are at these schools:
New York Medical College
Albany
Einstein
Hofstra
Seton Hall
Quinnipiac

All scores are visible and how they are interpreted by individual evaluators is unpredictable. AMCAS says multiple scores should be averaged, so that will have an influence at schools where this is emphasized (e.g. Jefferson and others). It is hard to predict which CA school might bite, maybe Drew, depending on your first score. LLU if you are Adventist.

That would be unfortunate.

Einstein is in the Bronx which is 60% Hispanic with many from Puerto Rico.

Will do, but I just wanted to know strictly about M.D in these locations, out of curiosity.
