What is your sGPA? Is 508 your actual MCAT score?

Thank you for the reply.

508 is my practice MCAT score; I'm hitting 508-510 right now for practices - I'm taking the MCAT in June.

If admissions replace or drop my undergrad science courses with the same classes I took at community college, my sGPA would be 3.6. If the schools do not consider my community college courses, my sGPA would be 3.2.

Post your actual MCAT score here when available and I will suggest schools,
