We only have about 8 more weeks of studying.

How are you guys feeling?

I feel as if I am going to bomb this test?

I'll be honest, it's likely you do. Just the way it is. My friend (Black, female), mid 20s MCAT got in a good school.

Probably would have an even better chance if she was a black dude.

Guys I am retaking in Aug. any advice.

I am not going to take the test until I am scoring at least a 30+ on FLs.

I use PR the first time around and still have 6 PR FLs that I have never done, so I am thinking about using PR again or should I change to BR and do BR FLs instead.

I do plan on redoing the AAMC FLs.

I did score in my FL range so it not that I thought I could do better.

Don't waste your money. You have a 81% chance which is AMAZING. It's statistically about the same as having a 4.0 and a 32 MCAT score if you were white or asian.

You'll get in. Only reason I see to retake is if your pride is driving you crazy because you'll certainly get into medical school, no need to retake for that.
