If you live in a state with a less-selective state school, I'd go ahead and submit to that school alone pending a retake. Retake ASAP since you feel the score is a fluke. Add more schools later, depending on how competitive the score is.

Where is your residency?

Why not apply to the SUNYs, NYMC, and Buffalo for now, pending the retake?

With a 28, you are lower than the average, but its only the average. Apply to lots of lower tier MD schools and make sure you have a reason for actually wanting to go there.

I know I can get 30 - 34 because that was what I was getting on the AAMC!

What should I do? Should I even apply?

I have a friend with lots of clinical experience and a lower MCAT than yours (25) that got into st.louis uni, she is a URM (i'm still unsure how much this affects adcom decision). Also she just recieved her acceptance this week. She was not accepted anywhere else
