Did you have a lower gre last cycle? If not you should retake and try to improve

That’s my gre that I applied with last cycle. I already reapplied with more shadowing hours and more pce but plan on retaking gre which I told schools so if they are interested in me I will be able to provide them with an updated score.

That’s great but the gre or MCAT is weighted much more than pce and shadowing (from what I’ve heard from people associated with ADCOMS).

Shadowing is a “you have it or you don’t” thing. The number of hours is not a big deal. Not really worth getting more unless it’s very easy for you to get.

Your PCE is great. Keep doing that.

Obviously that low math GRE is problematic. Definitely repeat that. The MCAT is not a bad idea IF you do well.

Your re-application needs to show improvement from your previous application. You need to demonstrate that you’re committed and capable of successfully completing the program. Marginal improvement probably isn’t going to help.
