Welcome back!
Your oldest thread
If my calculations are correct you have only taken 15 hours of postbac coursework (great job with the A's). What courses did you take?
Swallow your pride and apply DO unless you love to take the chance at another failed cycle. You don't need to retake the MCAT, and taking it a third time won't really help you since many schools average MCAT attempts for screening (so you're at 511). If you can do better than 521, then go for it, knowing that you should treat your MCAT average as the calling card to your application.
Give me your reason why a school should interview you this summer/fall. You talk about future plans to get you to that reason, and that will only motivate some schools to push your application to the "wait until next year" pile.

I took 60 credit hours of post bacc courses - and took classes like anatomy/physiology, medical microbiology, human biochemistry, parasitology, immunology, human genetics, genomics/bioinformatics, neuroanatomy, and a couple upper division biochemistry courses (this is not a comprehensive list but just trying to give you an idea of what I have taken).Welcome back!

So the right column is semester hours not quality points? I missed that. Thanks.
Did we go over discussion of retroactive withdrawals?

Yes they are hours! Sorry about the confusion. I’ve heard about retroactive withdrawals but don’t know what to do or where to begin, can you share more information?
