Hi everyone. I hope you are all well.
I got my MCAT scores back today, and its kind of strange situation. I was hoping to ask for your opinion on if I should retake.
A bit of context: I am a Canadian applicant, and I am looking to apply to US med schools. I am not sure how this sort of score is looked at in the US.
I got 132 on C/P, 131 on B/B, and 132 on P/S, which I am more than happy about, but then I got hit with a 126 CARS. 521 overall. Is this imbalance going to raise red flags? Should I retake?

Thanks!

Edit: if it changes anything, English is not my first language

Hey! You posted this in the wrong section. From my understanding, a school won't judge your application on a single subscore or an imbalance of them. Stats get you in, everything else takes you further.

Moving to MCAT forum, and no, don't retake that excellent 521 MCAT just to make all your numbers match
