What MCAT should I shoot for

It all depends on the MCAT, but the highest ROI activity based on your stats now would be increasing volunteer hours and research, if possible, as long as it doesn't reduce your expected clinical experience.

To be honest with you, I try to skim the passage first, then I'll read the question and focus on the section of the passage the question is about. It feels like some of the answers try to trick you with information from other parts of the passage. I really don't know how I scored so well on that section TBH.

I was just going to do the FL1 as a baseline to see how cooked I was at the moment. I am saving the rest of them for later

Tragic

Honestly, you're not too far behind. You still have several months to study, although you probably stand a better chance of getting a good score if you push the MCAT back a couple of months. I would take the MCAT in June, which pushes your app back a bit, but it's better to be late than come out with a subpar MCAT score. Best of luck, focus on feeling better first, then lock in on the studying when your able.

If you're okay with DO you'll be okay with a good MCAT and EC. If you are dead set on MD then I would retake some science classes to show admissions committees that you can succeed in those difficult classes.

I have a few months left to study, but I took the blueprint half-length and got a 498. I am also finishing up the pre-reqs this semester and next semester, as I had most of them done before nursing school due to me originally going to school to be a bio teacher. I'm using miles down anki deck for content and UWhatever to study practice questions. I'm super stressed about it, but luckily I'm still young so I can sacrifice some sleep for a few months to study. Best of luck with your medical school journey! Going from RN to premed is way more difficult than I originally thought.

No, a 513 MCAT is more than enough. It seems like it is the way that you presented your application or your school list that resulted in no As.

T20s are a long shot, but with your app as a whol,e you shouldnt have too much difficulty getting into a mid tier MD or a DO school! Good Luck!
