I am a reinventor. After around 60 credits of As my gpa has plateaued at around 3.25 (yikes, I know). MCAT is 515. At this point should I use WARS or LizzyM score? I am not sure which one is better for such a large discrepancy.
I found both of these tools to be a little bit difficult to use. I had similar GPA discrepancy and similar MCAT as well. While this is only my opinion, if you had a pretty good GPA in those last 60 credits (>3.75 maybe), I would use your MCAT score as a gauge for what schools to apply to. I'm not sure if this advice is sound but I've had a pretty good cycle so far using this. I would also apply to schools that specifically state that they will consider your more recent credits more/instead of your earlier ones, you can find lists here on SDN. You can also ask an advisor at the institution where you did some of those post-bacc credits and ask where previous students had success. Hopefully, schools will recognize you are an A student (seen in your most recent credits) and will view those over your previous work. Good Luck!!

These scores don't apply to reinvention. Use your last 60 credits, which show the you of now is not the you of then
I am in the same exact position OP. After 90 credits of 3.95 my cGPA plateaued around 3.3 (514 MCAT). I agree that using WARS and LizzyM does not quite apply to reinvention students. I'm in the process of creating my school list. I'm applying to mostly low-tier schools, a few mid-tiers, and 5-7 DO schools. I'm not applying to higher tiers because I don't have any research experience.
