DO MCAT retake?

[ERinspired]

Hi all! I got my MCAT scores back yesterday and now I need to make a decision about whether or not to retake. Score: 509 (124/127/128/130). My low score is C/P which is unfortunate. I am planning on applying pretty much exclusively DO. But I don't want to fall into a trap of thinking it's easier to get in.
Other relevant information:
2 years experience as an EMT
Recently went up in certification to an AEMT (advanced EMT)
Microbiology major
cGPA: 3.789 sGPA: ~3.6
Medical mission trip to Honduras
Public Health internship
400+ hours volunteering
150+ hours shadowing
2 years experience as a CNA
1 year research experience (1 publication pending)
.... Other things I'm forgetting

I really appreciate your opinions!

You do not need to retake your MCAT. Your MCAT and GPA are competitive for all DO schools. You are also competitive for lower tier and newer MD schools and possibly your state schools depending on your state of residence.
