I was just wondering if anyone had a list of schools that use the highest subscore of each MCAT section to determine the composite MCAT for admission purposes. I know that Tufts is one of them. Anyone else? Thanks!

Im bumping up this thread...I really realllly want to know for my interview wednesday (AECOM). Do schools look at the highest in the three sections? or only your most recent score? Supposedly tufts is the only school that "officially" takes the highest in all 3 sections? but will schools consider it? esp if its just a 1 point difference?
Any ideas??
please respond asap....i really really wanna have my ducks in order 4 my interview this x....

Hi Everyone,
This list is in no particular order and represents about 40 or so schools. Thought this might help those of you taking the MCAT multiple times. I called each school and asked them how they viewed the MCATs and here is what they said.

Yale: Look at all the scores- look most at highest score- but look for improvement

GW: Look at highest score in each section. Look at trends too.

This isn't a response to your question, but if you have the interview, you need to stop worrying about your MCAT and focus on being enthusiastic and thoughtful for your interview day. The interviewer is unlikely to grill you about your MCAT. Also, please note: "for" and "time." Sorry, I'm a jerk like that. :-\

Lol YOurE right (emphasis on the Y O and E which i spent the extra seconds typing out just for you). Its just a confidence thing for me I guess...I feel like seeing what I just saw posted (ie, that schools look for improvements, look at ALL your scores, etc), makes me feel a bit more "solid" and confident in myself going in, even if one of my scores fell by one point, if my overall score went up by 4, ill be ok...hopefully....

I was actually about to post about this because technically I've got a 30Q if they look at my highest scores (I got a 24Q then a 27P).

even with mcat number fudging like that, a 2.85 means that you're still going to have a hard time.
