I'm not sure if this post should be in the post bacc, master's, non traditional forums or here.

I applied to post baccs/masters whose deadlines are approaching soon. I told 2 of the programs that I was retaking my MCAT if they would wait to review my app until my I receive my scores, they agreed. I spoke to my MCAT tutor and he told me if I do well on the MCAT I wont have to apply to the post bacc programs. My thing is I'm a nontraditional student (graduated 2013) and I wanted to get in a program before medical school since it's been a while. I'm not sure if I should postpone the MCAT to June/July and apply to medical school or take the MCAT this month for the programs.
I guess it would depend on whether I'm ready for the MCAT right?

Edit: medical mission trip, leadership, volunteering at shelters and hospitals, former teacher and tutor, scribe, shadowing, 3.0-3.2 gpa, diy post bacc 3.6-3.8, Mcat <500, Good LOR but only from professors.

We need more info. What's your GPA, what's your old MCAT, what are you getting on practices.

Would have to know more, like your current GPA/EC's/strength of LORs/MCAT practice test scores/Actual MCAT score

I added the stuff you all mentioned. As for practice tests my was in 490s which was months ago.. I’m taking another one next week.

Your MCAT needs to be >500. Don't take it unless you are scoring above that on practices
