MCAT Retake Advice

[milk_chocolate]

I am a TX resident who scored a 504 (127/124/127/126) and a 511 (130/126/127/128) on my retake.
I applied this past cycle and had 4 TX II but no As. I am wondering if I should retake the MCAT to be more competitive for TX schools. I have graduated and have ample time to dedicate to studying.
I am planning to submit my primary ASAP and wouldn't retake the MCAT until August/September and then send my updated scores in September/October
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to retake, especially based on last cycle's success with 4 IIs but I am curious to hear what others have to say.

I wanted to add that my goal is to go MD mainly due to specialty interests and also would prefer to not deal with the added hurdles of extra DO boards

Have you made a WAMC? It would be helpful to do that to help the adcoms on here to help you identify weaknesses in your app or if something else may have affected you. I think a 511 is a great score and should be able to land you an MD acceptance in TMDSAS. Furthermore, 4 II tells me you had a cohesive narrative and experiences but perhaps fell short in the interview process or maybe you got a little unlucky. Post a WAMC if you want more help!

They did post a WAMC recently but deleted it

@milk_chocolate don't retake the MCAT, but point out in your essays this time all the things you have done to grow and improve this year
