I saw a few forums touching on this but didn't really see a clear answer -- does anyone know if they take your ACT even if you have an MCAT score? And would it look worse to use that over MCAT score?

I haven't had my MCAT yet and won't be applying til next summer anyways, but I had a near perfect ACT and obviously that won't happen with the MCAT so I'm not sure which is a better idea?

The College will consider the applicant’s most recent Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores. MCAT scores taken within the past three years are acceptable. A competitive MCAT score is in the 50 percentile or higher. In lieu of MCAT Scores, LECOM may use an Academic Index Score that uses undergraduate and graduate GPAs in a formula calculation with ACT and/or SAT Critical Reading and Math scores. Use the form below to calculate your Academic Index Score.

Academic Index Score
Your Academic Index Score can be calculated using either your ACT score and GPA, your SAT score and GPA or using both your ACT and SAT scores and GPA. Please select which method you would prefer to use. This calculator serves as a way to estimate of your Academic Index Score (AIS). Your official AIS is determined through your application to LECOM.*

I wouldn't take the chance.

LECOM is the only medical school to do this. If they reject you, that's a year of your life totally wasted because you didn't want to take the MCAT.
