Hi everyone, just got my MCAT score and was hoping to get your opinion. I'm a non-traditional female applicant with an international Bachelor degree, but I took all prerequisites at the US school (total 89 credits). I'm currently a permanent resident in the US. This is my first time taking MCAT and applying.

Country/state of residence: United States – NV
Cumulative GPA: 4.0
Science GPA: 4.0
MCAT Scores: 508 (127, 124, 130, 127)
Research – none
Volunteering (clinical) – 130 hours in the clinic that provides free primary care and wellness services to low-income, uninsured residents.
Physician shadowing – about 40 hours with a family physician.
Non-clinical volunteering: 100 hours at an education department of the State Museum organizing educational activities for children; 50 hours in shelter feeding homeless.
Extracurricular activities: I speak 3 foreign languages; help immigrant children to learn English
Employment history: 3 years as a medical sales representative (full time); 3 years till now as a general sales manager in a start-up medical supply company that I helped to cofound.


What schools should I apply to with 124 in CARS? And what are my chances with this score? Any advice on whether I should retake MCAT?

Thanks everyone for your help!
