I've read that some DO schools accept your highest score from each section of the MCAT. Is this true? and if so, which ones fall into this category.
 
I spoke with the director of admissions from OUCOM today, and he said they honor the highest score in each section.

Anyone know of any other schools that do this?
 
Chocolate Bear might know. However, I doubt a lot of schools would do this. I know it's pretty rare on the MD side of things as well.

Sorry, I really don't. Not only is this rare for both MD and DO, but it is at least as rarely advertised. Check out the CIB and schools' sites. If you have particular schools in mind, it can't hurt to anonymously call and ask. Assume that nearly all schools will take the most recent or the best overall score. This is usually the case.
