Well, I'm kind of shocked at my scores.

My sciences weren't too abysmal (9 BS and 8 P), but for some unknown reason, my verbal was an anemic 6! It's beyond my comprehension! Although it won't make much difference, my WS was an "S".

Anyway, here's my question. I'm a podiatrist, 3 years in practice, UCLA grad (3.2 overall, 3.0 science....13 years ago), 3.55 in podiatry school, one year podiatry residency at L.A. County/USC, certified in advanced cardiac life support and other EC's (lab work, volunteer, etc.). In other words, lots of relevant clinical experience, but low on the numbers.

Should I retake the MCAT in August if I'm only applying to COMP? Is a 23S just too pathetic even though I have some obviously pertinent medical experience? I SOOOOOO don't want to take that hideous exam again!!!!
