I'm a happy applicant if I'm 26+; retake in Aug if 25 or less.

What about you?

If such a person exists, I'd like to meet them so that I can perform the murder personally.

See, now, my plan was to distract you by keeping you on SDN while my secret operatives moved in to perform the execution.

Mine (27 with <9) has already got me in. But the school is the only one that interviews and accepts me. So I am going to retake it. You know. I want to legitimately start some School A vs School B thread in the pre allo forum. 👍

You guys can easily find me in any mirror as long as you stand right in front of it.

So true. Except you're probably easier on the eyes if you're a rower.

How do med schools feel about you retaking? How significant of a gain do you need to make it worthwhile?

A typical answer is 3 point improvement to make it a good idea to retake.

I believe that universally if you get <26 then you need to retake if you want US-MD. If you are aiming at your state school (exclude some UC schools) then high 20s should work, assuming your application is solid elsewhere.

For you folks retaking with 30+, you are a bunch of gunners and I would appreciate you staying away from me.

Ah, don't say that. Some people are probably trying to balance out a less than perfect GPA with a more attractive MCAT (I don't know anyone like that 😳 )
