If your MCAT score is below the average for your target schools, consider retaking the exam, especially if you believe you can significantly improve with additional study. Consider broadening your list of target schools to include those where your MCAT score is closer to the average. Moreover, remember that an application that shines in other areas can sometimes offset a lower MCAT score. Our Medical School Admissions Consulting services can provide personalized advice for your situation.
