I am wondering if I have a good chance into being accepted into an MD school despite my low MCAT score. It was my second time taking the MCAT. The first time I scored a 492 so I am sitting at a current 13 point increase. Any advice on what I can do additionally to increase my chances as well as any recommended schools with my current stats?

Thank You

Looking good. Do you have any non clinical volunteer hours?

Thank you for your response @OchemOficionado

I do have non-clincal volunteer experience. For the past 3 years, I've served as a community mentor for a local non-profit org that works to help increase minority participation in STEM fields by providing mentorships and career exposure to middle and high school students.

I've really been contemplating on whether or not to retake the MCAT. Do you think I should consider a retake?

 

[OchemOficionado]

I think your score is fine.
