Hello all,
I took the MCAT in January and got a 502. I decided to retake and have signed up for June 17. I have done content for the past month or so and have started practice passages again. I am doing poorly on the practice passages and I am worried that I will do worse. I prepared a TON for the first exam.
How bad does it look to have a lower score on the second take? Even if schools say they take the highest, I feel like they can find a way to boot me out if I get a lower second score since they see both scores. Do you think this is a possibility? What are my chances at D.O. vs M.D.?
My stats:
GPA 3.85 Biochemistry
Research 3 yrs, no publications
Volunteer- 264 hours hospital, 45 mission trip
Shadowing- 85 hours
and more...
Thank you for the advice
