Does this MCAT score improvement make me look bad?

Okay, I retook the MCAT a 3rd time, 😱, and this last one was taken after I had submitted my AACOMAS app. I only went up ONE POINT (2 pts up in VR, 1 pt drop in PS, one letter up in WS).

What do you think? Do the small improvements in VR and WS outweigh the one point drop in PS and the fact that I had one whole year to improve the score? Will this one point improvement reflect negatively on me because I had so much time between the retakes?

One thing I like about my latest score is that it is much more balanced out among the sections. Take a look:

1st MCAT: 5PS 7VR 10BS M WS = 22M
2nd MCAT: 11PS 5VR 10BS N WS = 26N
3rd MCAT: 10PS 7VR 10BS O WS = 27O

Please give me your opinions and advice.

Thanks!

I think you're okay. The jump in your PS from your first to last MCAT is amazing. Just be happy it went up and not down.

Your score is "solid." Be glad you brought the VR up. Even though you had a 26 before, that 5 probably would have extremely negative effects on your application.

No, as Jagger stated many people go down. You improved both writing and overall I think its fine.
