2006 MCAT score still good?

[axialresponse]

I took the 2006 April MCAT, which was the last paper-offered MCAT given. I really don't want to take it again. Are there still schools that accept 2006 MCAT score? I know University of Missouri - Columbia does, but that's only because I walked downstairs and asked them. Which schools will still accept 2006 MCAT for 2010 Matriculation?

I doubt most schools will accept it. The scores are usually good for only 3 years by the time of matriculation.

I think the MSAR has this information in it. Sorry I don't remember more clearly, though.

My last MCAT is from 2006 as well...

All the Texas schools will take it, and I don't know if you're considering DO but the following DO schools will take it:

TOURO CA
TOURO NV
NOVA
AT STILL SOMA
Western University

LECOM Bradenton will not take it...

I would make a list of your top schools, check their websites (I know on AACOMAS member schools list it says the latest MCAT the school accepts, and each of the Texas says so on their websites) if you can't find it on the website or it's unclear, then create a form email to send to each of their admissions departments asking if they'll accept it. My suggestion is to do this soon, because if you find out a favorite school doesn't take the 2006 school (like I did with LECOM Bradenton) you want to save yourself the money of applying, or give yourself time to study for the re-take.

I'd recommend a retake.

It depends entirely on the school. Each individual school decides how far back they'll accept MCATs. For the majority, 2006 is going to be expired, but you may be able to find a few that will still take it.
