Hey guys, so I just got my MCAT score back and was happy to see that my composite score was a 509, but then disappointed to see that my Bio section was a 124. My other sections were: 128 in Chem, a 127 in CARS, and a 130 in Psych. I just finished a post bac program, I'm a minority student and went to a top 20 undergrad school. I finished with both a 3.6 cumulative and science GPA. I'm leaning toward not retaking but I wanted to get an idea of what other people thought. My submission date for my AMCAS app was June 21. Also, are there score cutoffs at most schools? Or will I be viewed even with one section being lower than the others? Thank you!

As a URM you should have no problem getting into a school with those numbers if you applied broadly. There are score cut-offs at most schools, but that won't be a problem with your numbers
