So I just got my mcat back and it was all okay except somehow I was slaughtered in verbal. I got a PS 10 V 5 BS 9. For a total of 24Q. I got a bad head ache towards the beginning of verbal, couldn't concentrated very well and knew that I hadn't scored well in that section but I never thought it would be that low. I took 3 Ibuprofen at the next break and I was able to do better on writing and bio. My application is pretty solid other than my poor mcat.
Here's my bio.
- MCAT PS 10 V 5 BS 9 = 24Q
- 3.6 GPA, 3.4 science at a solid university
- 104 hours shadowing, ~50 shadowing a DO
- 2 years church mission in a foreign country that included more than 100 hours of service such as starting a basketball league, english class, working in fields, helping build a house, cleaning up schools, etc.
- 210 hours volunteering in the hospital (pediatrics, ER)
- 400 hours of volunteer EMS (Mentor of new EMT, Training supervisor)
- 3 years of research (Recieved $1500 grant, presented at a conference, planning to publish research at the end of the year.)
- 320 hours - Health counselor (EMT) at a youth camp
- 6 LOR's (2 Science, 1 Non-science, 1 from a DO (very good LOR), 1 from EMS director, 1 from Research Mentor/Professor
What would you guys do? Should I submit my app, retake in August, and update it when I get my new score? By the time I get my new score will adcoms have already thrown my application out or will they give me a chance to see what I get on the new mcat?
