MCAT retake?

[JayKay]

To be competitive at top ten schools, should I retake the MCAT (11V, 11P, 10B, Q)? Have I taken myself out of the running?

depends on your GPA and extracurrics

You're in the ballpark for top 20 esp if other things are strong.

You have good scores on the MCAT. I would be concerned about the possibility of those scores dropping on a retake. That would be bad. If your heart is set on a top ten school (whatever that means-my top ten probably wouldn't be the same as your top ten) I guess you could roll the dice and try to get in the 35+ range, but I personally wouldn't risk it.
