Hi everyone, so I just got my second MCAT score today and I feel pretty bad about it. I don't know how I could do so horrible on CARS but I would really appreciate it if anyone can give me their opinions about my chances at DO school this cycle. My goal is LECOM-B and NOVA.

6/15/19- 502 (126/123/125/128)
6/29/18- 504 (126/121/128/129)

Yes I took the MCAT two weeks apart, I had some stuff going on the day before the first exam and I let the issue get to me during the exam, but I was determined to try again. Then CARS happened.

GPA- 4.0 (both non-science and science)
330 hours of volunteering at a children's hospital, and I started my own princess program at that hospital.
160 hours as a human anatomy/biology learning assistant plus high school physics and genetics teacher.
1780 hours as a scribe in the ER (Got a DO LOR)
150 hours of shadowing cardiology and PCP, both MDs
60 hours volunteering at a nonprofit organization
310 hours as a cognitive neuroscience RA
> 8000 hours of nonclinical work experience. (I worked while going to school (psychology major) before I decided I wanted to become a DO)
5 LOR, gen bio, gen chem, anatomy, sociology, and from a DO.

Any advice or opinions are welcomed.

Take a look at the averages here: Mean MCAT and Mean GPAs for all DO Schools (scraped from ChooseDO)

Your score is above the mean for almost every DO school there - apply broadly because of your lower CARS score, but I think you have quite a good chance of getting into one or more schools.
