Should I retake MCAT

I got a 517 three years ago, and got a 518 one month ago. Plan to apply this cycle.
Should I retake MCAT? I am considering it because I really messed up the C/P section (132 the first time, and 129 this time). I guess I didn't spend too much time studying C/P this time.

Since I can mark "expect future MCAT score" when submitting the application, should I retake?

Don't retake a 518!!! Let your EGO GO!

It's not about ego though...mainly because I have a low GPA (cGAP 3.65).

3.65 is not a low GPA. bruh please don't retake your 518.

3.65 is not a low GPA. bruh please don't retake your 518.

Thanks! I was very sad when the score came out. I did well on my worst section (CARS) but totally messed up my best section (C/P). Guess the risk of retaking is not worth the potential benefit.

No

you'd be silly to retake.

Why are these posts even on here? Retake a 518 with a 3.65 GPA and I would say you do not have good reasoning skills.

Did you just come here just to humble brag about your 518?

Yes you need to retake. A 518 won’t get you many interviews and a 3.65 gpa is abysmal.

No a 518 is great

Just for your information everyone, with my 3.65 and 517 mcat, I got 2 II and 2 WL 0 A last time I applied.
Why would anyone think I am here to brag?

Your stats are not the reason why you didn't have a better cycle. The reason could've been your personal statement, secondary essays, the way you interview, or your school list.
