What are my chances?

[The One Who Knocks]

Hi all,

I just submitted my AMCAS application after receiving my MCAT scores last week or so.

Overall, I did well, but I really messed up my CARS section (even though I was averaging 127s and 128s on my CARS practice, leaving me super frustrated).

MCAT Score: 513 (90th percentile)

Chem/Phys: 130 (97th percentile)
CARS: 123 (37th percentile)
Bio/Biochem: 129 (92nd percentile)
Psych/Soc: 131 (99th percentile)

My GPA is 3.94. I have stellar ECs, LORs, and have been published (and waiting on a second publication).

I am really frustrated because if I could have just gotten my normal CARS score, I would be looking at some high-tier med schools. Now, with my CARS score, I am worried where I stand.

Let me know what you guys think. Not sure who else to talk to about this!

The CARS is worrisome, but you should have your best luck with your state school(s).

Where did you apply and where is your state of residence?
