I got my MCAT score a week ago, and I got a 518, which is 97th percentile. My distribution is 131/126/131/130, and I am applying next cycle, hopefully. I am a little concerned about my CARS score of 126. I am aiming for upper tier to mid tier schools, and I think I will apply up and down the rankings list, from like top 10 to 60. My GPA and BCPM are in the 3.9's as of now, and I want to keep that up. I would love it if I can get into Hopkins Med School, but I'm just looking to stay local, which means UMD, Georgetown, GW. Is my 126 going to hurt me? Should I retake?
Edit: I forgot to add that a friend of mine who got his MCAT score a week later got a 520, literally with all my 131's replaced with 132's.
