So I am really late in the boat. Long story short, I was planning to take the MCAT back in May, but due to financial and job issues, I delayed my first MCAT until August 4th. Unfortunately, I don't think I did that well, because I ran out of time on both science sections and had to guess on 4-5 questions for each section. So I have two dilemmas:
I am 100% sure that I will improve my score if I retake it again.
1) What will schools do to my application if I am still awaiting my first MCAT score, but also registered for another upcoming test?
2) Do I really have a bad chance of getting into an MD school with an August/September MCAT?
3) That said, if I know I will do better, will taking a mid-August MCAT (16-18) make a difference from a Sept 5th MCAT in the application process?
I feel so disastrous and confused with what to do right now 🙁
