So I just got my MCAT score back today. Scored abysmally, well under 500. I thought at least a 500 was possible but clearly I did not study well enough. Took that MCAT a week after my junior year finished, which was not a good idea. I have already submitted my primary application, still hasn't been verified. I only sent the application to my state school so far. I figured I have two options:
1) Study my ass off a whole month and retake the MCAT on July 22. Issue with that may be I would get the score back until August, which is when I would start adding more schools to my application. Would this be too late? I feel a month is not enough and may not be too much improvement.
2) Withdraw my application. Study the whole summer, take the MCAT late in 2016 or early in 2017. Then just re-apply next year. At least here my senior year would be included to bump my gpa up even more.
Any help/advice would be appreciated. I'm feeling so depressed right now, I don't even know what to do.
