I hope everyone is doing well. I have taken the MCAT exam four times with sub 500 scores (490, 491, 492) with 492 being taken this July. I am planning to submit my application to DO schools and retake it in September. I suffer a lot of anxiety during the test. I was wondering if I would be way too late for this cycle? Also, will schools start rejecting me if i apply now even though I will say I have a pending MCAT score? Also, my GPA is good (3.66 CGPA and 3.55 SGPA) and I have great extracurricular activities and LORs. Let me know if you can give me any suggestions? Thanks!

Your GPA is good for DO schools, but you would need a 500+ to significantly improve your chance. Is there a large discrepancy between your practice FL and actual test scores? Then, it's definitely the test anxiety getting the good out of you. I would suggest finding a way to manage your stress and anxiety. Everyone has their own way of dealing with stress, but in my case I found meditation helped.
