Quick Background:
I was a pre-PT student in UG.
Gave up PT acceptance in 2016 to pursue med.
2016-2017 = pre-requiste
2017-2018 = advance postbac
The Post bac (Fall'17-Spring'18) had an agreement with PCOM.
If I score a >3.3GPA & MCAT of 500 (at least 125/section) PCOM will reserve a seat for Fall'18 (Class of 2022).
Took my MCAT on June 1st (latest day to take the MCAT) and received score or 504 (126/126/128/124) on July 3rd.
Since I missed the 125 on Psych/Soc, I'm out of the agreement...
Currently 25 y.o and deciding whether to re-apply to DO schools or look into PA schools, or perhaps back to PT...
Question:
If going back to DO, I would assume it will be best for me to retake the MCAT. However, I'm already so late in the process since I was waiting for my initial MCAT score for the agreement. So can I apply with the MCAT score I have now and retake my MCAT in late August, receive score and attach it to my application in late September?
Is this feasible or a waste of time?
Don't like the situation I'm in now. Since I was fully banking on the agreement with PCOM, I'm not sure exactly how I should go about this.
