Hi All
I took the mcat twice, I got a 29 the first time and ended up with an even lower score second time due to anxieties and other personal problems. Do you guys think I should mention my mcat scores in secondaries that allow me to "attach additional documents" or "explain something not elsewhere on my application"? Or should I just hope they pay attention to other things..and wait for it to be brought up during interviews if i get any? Thanks!

From what I remember last year, the jury is kind of out on SDN as to whether you should put negative things in your application. For me, it was GPA. I mentioned it to some schools, didn't for others. For what it's worth in the school I got into I DID mention reasons for specific semester where I did have a poor GPA. I would assume the same would go for the MCAT.
