Looks fine for most DO programs. Mine takes the avg, so you might not have such great luck with us, or, say, CCOM.

Goro is there any reason why a school takes the average after a retake? I could understand if an applicant took the exam 3 or more times. But 2 tries at the MCAT seems pretty common.

You are correct and it's more for looking carefully at people who have taken the test >2x. I always feel that if someone goes from, say a 19 to a 27, that's a damn good improvement! That person I''ll always make a case for admitting.

How about some one who improves, say, from 22 to 27?
