Just Received New MCAT Towards End of Cycle, Will It Matter?

[StillTryingtoGetThere]

Hello,

I just got my MCAT from 1/26 back today, and I scored much higher than my previous attempts!
1st attempt: 502 (2020)
2nd attempt: 500 (2023)
3rd attempt: 509 (2024)

cGPA: 3.17
sGPA: 2.94

I have a lot of clinical (3000+) and non-clinical (1000+) experience that is a mix of paid and volunteer.

I applied DO this cycle and have 3 acceptances, but am leaning towards BCOM. I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple of schools that I would be interested in attending, ARCOM, WCUCOM, ACOM and PCOM (all three campuses).

Do you think sending an update letter this late into the cycle would make a difference at those schools? Would it be possible to reach out to schools that have already sent me a rejection? Or apply to schools I haven't to yet (ones that have primary/secondary deadlines later).

While my MCAT is now relatively good for DO, I do understand my GPA is very low. Any advice would be great!

Thank you! Do you think it would be worth it to send any new primary applications out?

Also a school that I was interested in is LECOM, they sent me a rejection earlier in December. Would it be possible they would reconsider if I email them?

It is worth sending the updated MCAT score of 509. PCOM and ACOM are well established schools and would be preferable over any of your 3 acceptances.

Too late for apps.

And no, LECOM won't change their mind.

One should apply once, with the best possible app.
