Hey everyone, here's my breakdown:
PAT: 20
RC: 18
QR: 20
BIO: 23
GC: 22
OC: 22
TS: 22
AA: 21

I'm a bit worried how schools would consider my application given my RC score. What do you guys think I should do? My current GPA is 3.50 and science GPA of 3.41. I have 150+ hours of volunteering and shadowing, and currently hold a leadership position in my pre-dental society. What are my chances into the TX schools (I'm also a TX resident) or any OOS schools? Any feedback would be great! Thanks

You are fine, I wouldn't bother to retake with that GPA and a very good TS and AA

The RC isn't below any cutoffs, you should be fine.

For now you are worried about one 18; retaking does not guarantee that you will improve everything and could easily end up worrying about 2 or more 18s.

Chances for what? I don't know if you will get in Texas schools. Getting in schools like Columbia will be hard. You should get in somewhere. Call the schools you are interested in and ask for their averages and whether or not you should retake to ensure that you will be competitive.
