Hi! I am making my list of schools to apply to for the 2026-2027 cycle. I received an MCAT breakdown of 131/125/131/132. I am worried that my 125 CARS score is outside the lower bound for a lot of schools I would like to apply to (mainly T20-30s). I'm wondering if it is even worth it to throw an application their way, as it feels like a waste of money. Do a lot of MD schools pre-screen for low CARS scores?
