AZCOM early in the cycle seems to be a 508, otherwise you are put on a pre interview waitlist or rejected outright
The average MCAT score for students entering AZCOM in 2017 was 505. What you're saying is almost certainly not true.
AZCOM early in the cycle seems to be a 508.............
Schools generally become more selective later in the cycle as spots become filled. Early on, the standards tend to be more lax.
I would say it's the other way around personally..but hey
Did I not specify a specific school, AZCOM, in my post regarding their apparent early pre interview waitlists if you have a lower MCAT?
Actually this is true. Below ~508, you get put on “pre-interview hold” until January.

Or you get an outright rejection, like I did 🙁
505 MCAT, got AZCOM interview waitlist. I second a screen at some level.
I would love to see stats on what percentage of waitlisted interviews actually get an interview, let alone an acceptance.
I think this is a kinder way of handing out rejections.

It's hard to say, since people on here form a tiny part of the applicant pool, but I looked through prior AZCOM threads, and it's possible to get off the waitlist all the way to acceptance. No guarantee, but it does happen.
LUCOM- 497 with a 123 subsection cutoff
LECOM- 497
KCUCOM- 501
Touro's (NY, CA, NV) - 502
MU-COM - 491
RVUCOM- 500
UNECOM- 490
BCOM- 493
KCOM- No MCAT screen
ICOM- "ICOM is looking for a score within the 50% percentile, with no score in each sub-section lower than the 35th percentile"
Other schools will tell you the cutoff if you pay the secondary fee.
EDIT:
I applied to CUSOM and did not get a secondary back. I have a 506 with a 123 in CARS.

CUSOM -- Any section lower than 40% percentile will be reviewed by pre-screen admission's committee. So, it's not like hard screen, you can get past it, but just not as fast
BCOM also has an auto 15% section cutoff which is around 121/122.
You sure about Touro ny? I read somewhere got an acceptance with a 499 and like a 3.8 last year. Might have to double check but I think it was Middletown
I've also heard Middletown's bottom dollar MCAT is 498.
