I spent months working on my CARS score and I wasn't able to improve much at all. I know that score would be approximately the same if I were to retake (I'm not anticipating to sit again for the MCAT). I'm a bit worried that the CARS score could screen me out of some schools. I made the first draft of my school list and am looking for honest feedback as to which schools I should remove/ add.
Thank you!

Thank you, Faha. Do you think there are any schools I should remove from that first list? I appreciate the quick response
