Hi everyone
I'm a URM who is in need of some advise. I have take the MCAT 3 time 488 right out of undergrad without much prep. 492 with a little more prep but clearly not enough. I took the exam for the third time recently on August 3rd and I can't help but feel like I did not do well. I took the AAMC full length 1 about 2 weeks before the real exam and score 509 and the second full length 5 days before and scored a 503 :/ my question is if my score unfortunately comes back low (below my target <506) would it be a bad idea to retake it for the fourth time? I am sure this time I can do much better as I know where my weakness are. Would schools look down on this? Or could I get away with it. By no means do I want as top med school. I just want to be accepted anywhere. The rest of my app is good. I have lots of EC, strong committee letter, great clinical experience, 3.62 cGPA, 3.56 sGPA. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am currently completely lost and frustrated.
