Well, I just got my MCAT score back and it's a whopping 503! Pretty disappointed, but I struggled getting high scores on my practice tests so not completely shocked. I just wanted some opinions on whether to consider applying this cycle. I have a cGPA of 3.72, sGPA of 3.6.
Undergrad state- Ohio
Major: Pre-medicine and minoring in Spanish and Medical Humanities
EC- service hours from volunteering in ER department and local Children's Hospital, Dayton Children's work-study student at children's homecare department, various non-medical service through a service organization on campus, DO shadowing, Remote Area Medical (RAM) trips (2nd one in September), international medical immersion (clinical, shadowing, service learning), a job at local hospital delivering food trays to the patients (does this count as something?? I've seen people say it could be medical experience since I interact w/ the patients)
No formal (scientific) research; however, have presented in two professional symposiums regarding, 1) clean water access and hygiene observations and suggestions (kind of like a problem and proposed solution) from my international immersion 2) health literacy project to assist international students on campus better understand health information provided to them (this was really cool since English isn't my first language so it felt really good helping someone in this situation)

I would just like any feedback on schools that would be worth applying to. Like I said, I have accepted I will have to retake, but if there is any way to avoid a gap year (family and financial reasons) I would love to try. Thanks in advance.
