Hi,
I'm extremely anxious about getting a good MCAT score for osteopathic schools and I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I have a cGPA of 3.7, a sGPA of 3.6 (no retakes). I have clinical research experience, non-clinical research experience, scribing experience, shadowing experience, community service...but there's just one problem. Last year, I bombed the MCAT - 499. I'm retaking it this month for this cycle, and I'm scared out of my mind. I'm so afraid that if I bomb it a second time, my shot for medical school is blown.
I took the scored exam: 126/122/128/130. My CARS score was obviously terrible, but I've improved my score since then. Regardless, I'm incredibly anxious about this retake - so much that I've debated taking another year off (I'm already on a gap year). However, I really don't want to do this. Does anyone have any advice? Do I have to take another year off? Thanks.
