Should I re-take it?
I was away on summer vacation and I just got my results: 28Q, which to my knowledge is like 6 points below UTSouthwestern's acceptance average.
Should I retake the test? The deadline to sign up is in like 3 days. I have plenty of time to study and practice (8+ hours a day for 30 days), since school will be starting after the August test date. But I don't know if it's worth it to re-take it-- I really don't want to spend another $200 unless a few higher points on the MCAT can really make a difference in acceptance-- and I'm about to send in my application this week, with my current MCAT results. Do you think a possible higher MCAT score will help me in this admissions cycle?
