How do DO Schools evaluate your transcripts in regards to retakes of classes, and which years they count, etc.

I know Allopathic (MD) schools count the original grade no matter what, but I think I heard something where DO schools only look at the newer grade. Not sure if this is true, and if so, all DO schools work like this?
