Should I rewrite the MCAT

Recommended Posts

I’ve written the MCAT twice.  The first t3, my score was awful, something like 497 and the second time, my score improved to 508 ( 129 CP, 124 CARS, 125 BB, and 130 PS). My gpa is 3.67 and I’m applying in province to u of c (min is 3.2) and u of A (min 3.3 and 124 on all MCAT sections). My ECs are pretty good I think... lots of advocacy for access to health Clare in rural Alberta (for the elderly) and varied executive positions in clubs and student government.

This is a pretty straightforward situation. Your CARS score counts you out of UofT, Western, Mac, Manitoba, Saskatchewan. It still meets the cut-off for Dal and UBC. If you want to increase your chances to other schools you'll need a higher CARS (125 for UofT, 126+ for Queens, and 128+ for Western, Mac, Manitoba (517+), and Saskatchewan (520+)) 

In reality, however,  Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Mac are extremely competitive for OOP so I wouldn't retake it for them. However, you could see some love from UofT, Queens' and Western if you meet their cut-offs. I would apply to Alberta and Calgary with your current score and see how it turns out. If you don't get in, then I'd redo that MCAT and apply more broadly.
