I am applying this cycle, but I am debating whether I should take the January MCAT. My school has a 6 week break for Xmas. Of course I would study all this semester and then do a last ditch effort right before it. I got a 25 this past april (7VR, 9PS, 9BS), and applied to a wide variety of schools. This retake would be of course for the next application cycle. What do you think?

I think you could get in with a 25....especially since you're applying to many schools.

I think so too.

and, if you want to retake - many schools will consider your january MCAT for this cycle as long as you already have one under your belt!
