I just got my MCAT scores back. However, I screw it . I got only 28M, and I expected a 33.
VR: 9 ( i am an esl btw)
PS: 11
BS: 8

I think I did everything right expect the mcat. I am thinking about several options, but each has its drawbacks.
retaking the mcat on Jan, but I will spend one more year before med school. If other options fail, I have to do this at the end.
applying for DO school. I do not know if it is too late. it is August already.
applying for some schools I am on the edge of the accepting mcat scores.
Like: Albany; Boston; Drexel; George Washington; Georgetown; Jefferson; Penn State; and Temple.
Below is my basic resume if you dont want to check the mdapplicants. I am a bioengineering major and an asian male. welcome your input.
Also one more question, if I chose not to release my mcat scores, the med school wont see it, right?
