I don't think there is any excuse that is going to make it look any better. Use your PS to make all other aspects look good to distract them from the 24.

I do not think your MCAT scores have any business in your personal statement!! 😱 This will come out in interviews if they want.

I DO NOT think you should feel like you need to explain yourself in the PS because you're afraid of not getting interviews...you'll get plenty of interviews, don't worry. 🙂
