Hello,

Demographic: Male/22/ White Puerto Rican mainlander

I've got a 3.9 total GPA / 3.9 BCPM GPA. Was planning to apply next cycle. I just got MCAT score back and sadly received a 506 (123/130/123/130), which messed me up because I had been scoring in the 5 teens in my AAMC FL's with 127-128 in the sciences. KEY QUESTION: Would it even be worth retaking the MCAT, or is the fact that I scored so low in these sections on my first attempt lethal for my chances at MD schools?

I've...

*PLEASE DON'T QUOTE, LOTS OF IDENTIFYING INFORMATION*

I hope everyone is staying safe! Right now my plan is to apply in the next cycle (submit my app ~June 2021). My hope is to do MD to remain competitive for a surgical specialty, but in the end I just want to practice medicine, so if I need to do DO thats okay too.

The GPA and any hour estimates are based on how my application will look next year assuming everything continues on its current trend.
