So my score was a 507 with a 130/123/128/126 split...... overall was 76% which is about a 29.5

But a 130 (97%) translates directly to a 13
A 123 (37%) translates directly to a 7
128 (87%) pretty much to an 11 (88%)
126 (66%) so probably a 9

This would put my score at a 31 with the old subsections/percentiles. I know that the Psych section brought me down a little bit, but do you think if you are going to score lower on a section, this is the one to do it on? From my understanding adcoms will look at the holistic score for the new MCAT, but do you think some of them would look at it and say my score is equivalent to an old 31?

507 puts you between 29-30 or 73%-79%, not 31, and I am pretty sure 123 is a 6. Nevertheless, they look at the overall score, at least that's what I read from adcoms on here.

I would look at 507 as comparable to 29-30.

123 is a 7 with the new updated percentiles from AMCAS

Do you think some schools would break it down into subsections like 13/7/11/9 when comparing it to applicants who took the old MCAT

No. We're going through thousands of applications. It's just going to be the total until well into the process.
