Take MCAT 2x to get reviewed early or just once (7/22) ?

[Fawna]

Hello,
I am currently agonizing between:
June 30 test date and getting about 80th+ percentile or
waiting until July 22 and getting a 90th+ percentile or
doing BOTH to get reviewed early.
I am great at test taking strategy, just need to cram in more content.
Also, I am still trying to finish up my PS!

Please advise.

Background:
I already have a 29 (72nd percentile) from the very last day of the old MCAT (couldn't postpone, but knew I wasn't ready).
Post bacc 3.97, only 2 non-science classes.
BCPM 3.6, overall 3.5

July 22. Do not try to game the system by getting reviewed early with a lower score. Higher percentile will get you a stronger chance of acceptance.

Better to wait and do better

Everyone always talks about getting in early but I have seen people wait do really go on the MCAT and have multiple acceptances before Christmas

Following the same trend in your post, just wait till August 14th and get the 100th percentile!

Cram in more content if your test is in 11 days? Move it... but still won't guarantee you a 90th percentile so apply wisely

Nah, I know August would be way too late to apply this cycle!

Thank you everyone for your replies!

I really mean, I need to cram in the things that need to be memorized. I understand the concepts, just have to do the rest of the work.
