Hey /adv/
I'm a pre-med student in a okay-ish college for undergrad now.
I just took the MCAT in January and got my scores back. Turns out, I performed like absolute shit and got a score of 508. I'll take it again in May but not sure if it will go up too much (I'm hoping at least breaking the 510 point).
What are my chances of getting into a mid/low ranked med school (ex. UCI), or a good one (ex. UCSD, UCLA) with a score of 511~513 and GPA of 3.87, Science 3.93?

You can try to apply to different schools that you are almost making the cut off. I'm from a place that uses a britbong system, where undergrad medicine exists. However, I have heard that if you are really someone that has excellent qualities instead of just a robotic textbook grinder, they may even write off your 1-2 marks off and take you in. You'll never know man. We have this thing here. It's called discretionary application.

Stay in school for another year and take the mcat again. Also keep in mind your EC's play a big part in your acceptance, work on those too.
