Application season

Hey! Can someone tell me how applications work?

I took my MCAT for the first time in September and scored a 495. I’m scheduled to retake in July but still want to submit my application early (end of May/beginning of June). How do I do this with already having one low score to avoid getting immediately rejected.

Some other stats in case they make a difference:

• Graduated in 2023 with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and minor in psychology (3.9 GPA)
• Student athlete
• 50 shadowing hours
• Roughly 1300 clinical hours as a scribe/MA at an Orthopedics office
• Roughly 400 volunteer hours coaching a kids sports team
• Amazing letters of recommendation from the doctors I work with

I’ll be applying both MD and DO
