I applied to four medical schools in the Midwest in 2017 and was waitlisted at one. My MCAT score from 2017 was 509 (125/129/125/130), with sGPA 3.46, cGPA 3.60 (this has improved slightly as I've completed a masters program since applying).
I am waiting for my application to be verified for this upcoming cycle and have a test date scheduled for the end of June, but am not confident that I will be able to exceed or meet a 509. I'm trying to decide if I should push my date or apply with the old (lopsided) score, and wondering how necessary it is to retake the test? My application has improved in that I've been employed in the hospital system (and at a domestic violence shelter) for the past two years and have also gained a few publications.
