I recently took the MCAT for the second time and got the exact same score as the first time I took it... a 27Q (BS 10, PS 7, VR 10), which I am not at all pleased with. I took them 2 years apart.

As for my other info, I have a 3.65 undergrad GPA and 3.4 science GPA, and a 4.0 post-bacc GPA. I also feel I have very solid ECs and good LORs.

I applied once before and didn't even get any interviews. I can't tell if it was because of my MCAT score that I didn't even get interviews or if it was something else.

Now I'm not sure if I should take the MCAT again. I studied hardcore for 4 months and still mangaed to not improved my PS section, so if nothing can really come from me taking it again I don't want to.

Any guidance would be great!!! 😕

It takes at least 6 months of solid prep and studying to do any significant improvement on your MCAT score, so make sure that you are giving yourself enough time and actually commit to studying some everyday. Look at your previous test scores and work hard in the areas that you were low in.
