I got my MCAT score last week and I got 500. I got 125,120,129,126 so basically the English section is what ****ed me up the most, I have a 4.00 CC and 3.83 UCLA and a pretty strong recommendation letters and solid activities and honors ( valedictorian, NSF, Honor society...) as well as a powerful personal statement. DO you guys think I should give it a shot this of applying this cycle?

Honestly...no. 500 is really low and 120 is REALLY bad! By any chance URM? I think your best bet would be do a retake early next year and apply next year. Spend the year improving your app. even more.

Are you an ESL by any chance? 120 is horribly low for CARS. I wouldn't apply this cycle. Figure out what happened with CARS and do a retake.

Strengthen the ECs (volunteer/scribe work) and fix that score. Unless URM...
