I took my MCAT in April and got a 500.
I was scoring within the 505-507 range during my practice tests though so I really want to retake it in June or July with a goal score of 508-510 (my original goal).
My app is almost complete & I'm planning on submitting it June 1st to a lower tier school so I can just get it verified. Then I can easily add the other schools once I get my 2nd MCAT score. I’m not sure which date to choose though. I definitely want to make sure I have enough time to study but I'm concerned that I’m taking the test 'too late' since I’m not a competitive applicant.
Which test date below do you think would be the best date to retake the exam?
Also is a score of 510 high enough to get II / interviews considering my low GPA?
(I'm looking into MD and DO schools & I don't want to reapply next cycle since I already took time off)
3.55 GPA (4.0 my jr/sr year)
Extracurricular/Work: Volunteer work (non-medical and medical), service trip, research 2 years, some shadowing, ER scribe (paid work), tutoring (paid work), school orientation leader, hospice volunteer
