Hey guys, I was just wondering how DO schools will treat cutoff scores with multiple retakes. I got a 27 on the most recent MCAT I took, but received a 6 in Verbal; however, I received a 25 the first time, but received a 7. Both are not good either way.... but I've been reading how some schools (KCUMB) cutoff below a 7 in Verbal, but if they see if got a 7 before, will they possibly still send a secondary. Thanks
 
I don't think they combine MCATS when it comes to cut offs, but rather takes your most recent score. I could be wrong, though. Your best answer would be gained from calling the school of question.
 
It will depend upon whether they take the highest scores, superscore (best composite) or most recent. Best to call the school as ask!
