should i still apply?
Also, what was your score breakdown? I'm guessing you would be automatically screened by many schools for low section scores.
can I pm you?That's a 23 on the old scale. Not good. At all, I'm afraid.
To answer your question, we'll really need more information, including your GPAs, your ECs, volunteering, etc.
My main question for you is this: did you even prepare for the MCAT?
Sure, if you feel you can't share publically. Know that I haven't applied yet, however, I can distinguish between a good and a poor applicant.can I pm you?
Decent P/C score, actually, and the 124s aren't terrible, but it's the 121 in CARS that's the death knell.I took one in 2012 and got less than a 20, I took the one in January (old MCAT). My EC's are excellent. about to calculate my gpa
now this new one:
127 ps
121 cars
124 BS
124 psych

No, retake. But fix your deficits first.
Yeah, but like I said, not terrible. Not good either, but not really his/her limiting factor lol!A 124 in BS is roughly equal to an 8 in the old MCAT. That's a bad thing, though not as deadly as the 121 CARS (equal to about a 4-5)
Agreed. OP, I recommend to calm yourself and relax for a while without thinking about the MCAT. Once you're all settled, you should go to the MCAT Discussion Forums and consult the 509+ thread and advisers (I believe they are NextStep and someone similar) for more help. Have confidence. You can do this and smash this exam out of the park.

I just got my score back today too. 496 as well. I prepared but have not yet taken biochemistry, and I think that was my downfall.
Anyway, I am still going to apply. Only to D.O. schools though, I know I would not get into any M.D. school with that score.
I have a strong GPA and extracurriculars, so I hope I might just get into atleast one D.O. school. Definitely going to retake next year once I have a semester of biochem under my belt.
Since no one can stop you from applying, I might as well tell you that you may have a chance with new DO schools, WVSOM, or DMU-COM.I just got my score back today too. 496 as well. I prepared but have not yet taken biochemistry, and I think that was my downfall.

No, well we don't know about your GPA, sGPA, or ECs. Rather then applying, you should spend time studying for the MCAT, again (sorry). You can still improve your score and have a much better chance next cycle.should i still apply?
OP you said you took one in January. What was your score for that one? And which score did you apply with? I saw some of your other post about your mcat not being verified.I took one in 2012 and got less than a 20, I took the one in January (old MCAT). My EC's are excellent. about to calculate my gpa

Terribly sorry. This was my siblings post.OP you said you took one in January. What was your score for that one? And which score did you apply with? I saw some of your other post about your mcat not being verified.
Are you applying this year?

496 is 21-22 on the new scale. Looking at his past posts, he has a GPA around of 3.5-3.6, which makes him competitive at all the D.O schools. I haven't found the exact numbers, unless I missed them.
OP has chances at ACOM, LUCOM, LMUCOM, WVSOM, Burrell COM, but NOT at DMUCOM. Donations are appreciated though.
Red: I agree. Retake and slay the evolved monster.
Yes. Hope to have my application submitted by mid August
