Hey I'm average

So my application is about average. AMCAS sent out my application and I am already getting emails from schools saying that my application will be on hold until they received my next MCAT score (I'm retaking mid August) Since it's average, I know how important it is to apply early and broadly. I got a 9/9/9 Q on my first MCAT. Should I retake the August MCAT (let's say I get a 30) or just go with my MCAT score, even though its low, so I get the early advantage.

Any thoughts? (And I am applying this year either way)

The answer depends on the strength of your application cGPA and BCPM GPA and your state of residency. And how likely you are to score at least three points higher.
