Hi,
My MCAT is scheduled for the 22nd. Last week I took the official practice exam #1 by the AAMC, and received a 126/122/128/130. I was truly disappointed and frustrated with my CARS score. I was doing SO well on the questions packs from the AAMC, but the CARS section on this exam was SO HARD.
I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to go in and take the exam, get a REALLY bad CARS score, and be screened out of every school I apply to. On the other hand, I'm afraid that if I push my exam back to August 5th, my application is going to be super late. Please help! Is it better to apply late with a better score or apply earlier with a worse score?
I'm applying to both DO and MD
cGPA 3.71
sGPa ~ 3.6
Applying next cycle is not an option for me. I'm already taking a year off. Thanks.
