Long story short here..
I applied this past application with this original MCAT. Had 1 interview, but ultimately pulled my application because I wasn't sure if I would be happy at the school being so far away from family.

CGPA: 3.41
SGPA: 3.31

First MCAT: 4/28/2017: C/P - 124, CARS - 125, B/B - 122, P/S - 127
Second MCAT: 1/25/2018: C/P - 126, CARS - 123( :((( ) , B/B - 125, P/S - 127

EC's:
Roughly 2000 hours as a medical scribe
400 hours ER tech
150 hours cardiopulmonary rehab intern
200 hours volunteering in the ER
scattered leadership positions through undergrad

Good LOR's (I was told this in my one interview)

I honestly am very burnt out over the MCAT after having studied for 10 months to get two OK scores. I really don't want to retake at this point. Just wondering if it's worth applying this upcoming cycle. Currently have SC residency, but my parents live in NJ and I believe I am moving back there in the next few months.

Thanks in advance.

In my honest opinion, you need to stick to DO only. Your two MCAT scores and GPA are well below any MD average.
You might have to contend with the fact of moving away for med school. Unfortunately, you cannot be overly choosy in this process.

I honestly did not mean to put this in MD oops lol
 
I suggest these DO schools with your stats:
ACOM
ARCOM
BCOM
WCU-COM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
LUCOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
UIWSOM
RVU-Utah
NYIT-Arkansas
ICOM
Rowan (if you become a NJ resident)
You need to realize that if you want to become a doctor you may need to attend a medical school that is not near your family.
