Hey Guys,
I don't really post on here much but I thought I could use some advice. After studying for the mcat a good amount of time (self studied), I was very disappointed when I received my score. I took it on January 23, 2014 and I received a demoralizing grade of 9-ps ,6-VR, 8-BS, T=23. I was kind of expecting this after coming out of test day feeling like I bombed it. My AAMC average was a 28, so I don't even know what happened. I have never scored that low before. That being said, I decided to retake my mcat in late July, doing an accelerated Kaplan course from late May to early July. This means I won't receive my MCAT score till late AUGUST and it is recommend that your application is done and sent to the schools by then. Am I screwed if I apply with my MCAT score of 23 and then update my app when I retake it?
Looking for some advice on best way to time my application and 2nd MCAT retake, giving me the best shot at this cycle. As well as possible schools I should look into, Thanks everyone for the help.
My GPA is a 3.7 and my sGPA is a 3.6.
Done a ton of internships, shadowing, and even did a surgical missionary trip.
