I didn't get any interviews this cycle so I'm reapplying this year and debating if I should re-take the MCAT. I took it for the first time last August and got a 28Q (10 PS, 9 VR, 9 BS). The thing is I don't think I can really improve it by much because that's the score I was averaging on my practice tests (highest I ever got was a 32). Also, I had studied for the test the year before but chickened out because I wasn't scoring well on my practice tests back then either. Wouldn't it look more bad if I re-took the test and got the same score or worse?
The other main reason why I don't think I got any interviews was because I applied very late (primary wasn't in until early october) and only applied to 5 schools plus all the Canadian schools. What are my chances if apply really early this year and broadly with this MCAT score? My GPA is 3.87 and I have a lot of volunteering, clinical and research experience. I know my stats aren't horrible but I've heard they should be more competitive since I'm applying as an international student.
