Should I retake?

Hi all, just wondering if I should retake my MCAT.

Overall: 521  (131/127/131/132)

Despite my great overall, my CARS was a mess and it seems like its the only score that matters here in Canada. I got flat out rejected by Mac this year and I'm seriously considering re-taking the MCAT to bump up my CARS. 

Also, if anyone knows, how strong would my MCAT score be considered in the US?

I can promise you that if you apply broadly in Canada and do not get interviews, it is not your MCAT score holding you back. Either your GPA is not competitive or your EC's are lacking. 127 is sufficient for McMaster assuming you can do well on Casper. Do not re-write. I got 3 acceptances with a 126 in CARS in Ontario.

Sorry, I should have clarified, I interviewed but didn't get accepted. Obviously, my main work now is improving my interview skills, but since CARS is apparently weighed in some schools post-interview evaluation (Mac) I was wondering whether I should consider that too.
