Need Advice About When to Retake

Members don't see this ad.

I haven't posted much before (but am an avid follower). I took the MCAT last September and received a 30M (my average was 34 however I took the test under a stressful emotional time for me). I am currently studying overseas but wanted to retake the MCAT again and apply this cycle. If I take the MCAT June 16th is that too late; would I be better off taking it at the end of May? Any advice would be appreciated!

This will direct you to "The Official 'Should I Retake' Thread." You will find many cases similar to yours, and post your situation if you feel so obliged.

June 16th is completely fine. If you can submit your application with your current score when the app opens, mark the date that youre going to take it again, and by the time the new scores come out they will automatically be loaded... Hopefully higher scores.

Most schools wont even start handing out interview invites until august anyways.
