just got my mcat back and it didn't do go nearly as well as i had hoped. I got a 26R ehhh...8, 10, 8. I know I can do better on the physics cuz i ran out of time. i think that can easily be improved to a 10 by just working a bit faster. on the bio...8 really shocks me that's for sure! i wish i could see the errors i made on it...
when do you think i should retake it? i wanted to apply to schools this cycle but now i'm not so sure. i really only have a chance at my state school now. i have a 3.6 gpa...both science and cumulative. i'm thinking since i wont be competitive anywhere else, then i shouldnt waste my 1st time applying to a bunch of places. i'm thinking of only applying to my state school this year...and doing early decision. what do you think? cuz by the time i get my next mcat back it's early september and ill be super late. get what i'm saying? also, i dont even know if i can improve a lot on the mcat? i mean, i really only had a solid month to study...but i've used ALL but one AAMC practice tests so i don't have much to practice with. i'm sure i can get it to like 30 but i don't know?
does it really help applying ED? i know you get screwed if you don't get in cuz youre so late to apply other places, but i won't really be competitive anywhere else anyways. if i retake mcat i wont get it back till early september and thus ill doubtfully be complete before October. at that point i'm already SUPER late and everyone on here says there's no hope at that point. so what do you think? should i just try ED this year? btw, the state school's site says they recommend a 28 and 3.5 to apply early. if i don't get into state school, the next year i'll hopefully have a better mcat, gpa, and more experience. thanks everyone
