I need advice on whether or not I should retake my MCAT in January 23rd or in April. I hurriedly took the MCAT back in August and received a score of 495 (126/121/123/125). I plan on retaking the exam on January 23rd, however, I am a current senior that is applying to graduate schools/Post Bacc programs due to my horrendous GPA (3.43cGPA and 3.33sGPA). I want to be accepted to a California program, if not a competitive program that is linked with a medical school, these programs require an MCAT score, the problem is that I need to retake the test in January when applications will be reviewed. I do not know if taking the MCAT in April will allow for me to be accepted in any program. The top 2 programs that I would like to attend are VCU's CERT program and EVMS Medical Master's program. Upon graduation I should have a GPAs of 3.52 and 3.4 respectively, my question is: should I rush and take the MCAT so I can apply to graduate programs or take it in April and apply to medical school in June. My GPA has an upward trend, 3.7 above the past 3 semesters and I plan on having a 3.6 above these next two semesters. I really need advice! I am also of VA residence. I also would like to know which post-bacc/grad programs I would be competitive at if I receive a score of 505+ above.
Thank you again for your advice!
