Hello,
I just received a 33 on my MCAT (13PS/8VR/12BS). I know that the 8 in VR will hurt me. I also know that I can do better, as I was averaging about a 37 on my practice tests. I am 99.9% sure on a retake right now because I feel like this test was a fluke and unrepresentative of my abilities. I am aiming for a top tier school (my grades are 3.9+ and I have excellent ECs and the rest of my application is pretty solid).
IF I were to score in the 36-38 range as I did in my practice tests, would this renew my chances at a top tier school? Basically, I wanted to know what kind of an impact this first score would have (especially the VR) if I raise my score upon a retake. I am really confident that the score will increase, as I never scored below a 34 on ANY of my practice tests, and no lower than a 36 on my last 8 practice tests. Is it possible for me to still have a good chance at a top school? Thank you for your time!
