Anyone know this answer?

I'm thinking of retaking the MCAT this august b/c I got a 28N in April. My questions is...Will some schools offer interviews based on this score if it's decent enough for their school, or will they wait until my final August scores come out? Also, would retaking in August delay my application for some schools?

Thanks, any help would be nice.

almost all of them will wait for your new scores

I doubt most schools have a hard "cutoff" for screening applications that is at or above a 28. I'm sure you will be fine getting past these initial screening stages with that score. I wouldn't worry too much, unless your MCAT scores go down on the retake. Study hard and practice, practice, practice!

I know a girl who applied last year and was very unhappy with her score...She scored a 27 or 28 on the MCAT and checked the retake option on AMCAS...Well she recieved interviews in August and was accepted to 3 schools in October even before her new MCAT scores were released.

I am in like the exact same situation, 28N exactly (8VR, 10s). But I wasn't planning on taking the August MCAT, instead waiting for next spring if need be. Is that pretty much the consensus on what I should do?

Apply and retake, covers both bases. Good luck studying!
