Thanks for the response, I appreciate it!First, I just want to say to make sure to prioritize your mental health. MCAT-retake studying can easily destroy your mental health if you do not take the appropriate steps. That being said, I think you should retake if you're 100% set on those MD schools. Even as an URM, that MCAT and GPA combo will (likely) not get you very far for MD schools in general. BUT only take it when you're ready (i.e. consistently scoring ~510 on practice tests), and if that means taking another year off, I think it'll be worth. Definitely take the AdComs' opinions with more weight, but those are my $0.02.
You could receive interviews at some MD schools and I suggest all these:I'm African American. Not fluent in Spanish but pretty close and have worked in Spanish-speaking clinics
I think Keck and Kaiser might be a reach, but the wise Faha's list is spot on. Add U WV and U Miami as they also seem to be URM friendly.
