Guest student101 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I know this has been asked a million times, but I always get different answers. if i did poorly on the MCAT in april and choose to rewrite it in august, what would happen? Would schools know about this? Would they take my more recent score, my better score, or an average of the 2 scores? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aneliz Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yes, the schools would know about it. AAMC now releases ALL of your MCAT scores to the schools whether you want them to or not. However, would the schools care is the better question. And, the answer to that is no. Med schools will look at your most recent MCAT scores only. Not at your best ones, and they do not average them. You also cannot 'mix and match' scores from different tests. It doesn't matter how many times you write the MCAT... there are no bonus points for only writing once... and there are no negative points for writing many times.

Guest darlaa Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 That is the most reassuring thing I've heard this week. It's really nice to know that if I totally flub it this time, I have a second chance. Thanks Aneliz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
