Hi!
I just got my scores back from the Sept. 9th 2017 MCAT and got an overall score of 508
-508 overall score
-My breakdown was (128,124,128,128)
-My Science and cummulative GPA is: 3.90
-I have a lot of research experience with a 1st author publication in a good journal and will be at another research institute for my gap year and hopefully get some more publications.
-I have some extracurricular activities and volunteer/shadowing experience - but I'll be doing more in my gap year.
- I don't really care about getting into a top 20 med school or anything like that. I'm more concerned with getting into a med school where I'll be happy for four years. So a location I like with people I vibe well with.
What are your thoughts on if I should retake my MCAT? I realize my CARS score is low, but this is the section I had the most trouble with, so I'm not sure I can raise it too much more, maybe to a 126, but I'm not sure that would be worth it.
Thanks in advance for any feedback, it is much appreciated!
