I took mcat after i submit my amcas and i had finished up some secondaries. I did not do well on the mcat during this summer and believe i am not competent enough to get in any MD schools. Next year, i will be a previously-incomplete re-applicant.😕

How would this hurt me?
What should i put differently on my next year AMCAS?

Thank you for any advice.👍

Were I you, I would be doing everything I possibly could to boost my credentials: picking up a research position, volunteering, shadowing, the works. Being a reapplicant means that you're going to be in an uphill battle. You are going to have to take the MCAT again so yeah you might want to sign up for a reasonable date, and start studying the sections you did poorly on.

You probably shouldn't say you don't believe you are competent enough to get in any MD schools. At this point, you simply aren't qualified. There's a big difference. How well is "not well"? Anyway, I'd just wait it out before withdrawing...you never know, maybe you'll get an interview? (as long as you did better than the 50th percentile...). In any case, you will probably have to re-apply if your MCAT was that bad.

Also, when did you take the MCAT? Did you have time to re-take? If you did, that would have been the best option...
