If one has taken the MCAT more than once, is one required to send all scores to AACOMAS?

Is it better to send all or send your best or what? If you combine some of my scores my total score comes out higher, so does anyone know if DO schools look at scores from multiple tests and combine?

I'm not absolutly sure this is right, so you might want to check on it. It used to be that you could choose which score to send, but beginning for the class of 2008, they changed it to that they send all your scores from every MCAT you took.

If you show improvement adcoms look favorably on it-- upward trends are always good. Plus, I believe that taking the MCAT again and not just giving up shows how much you really want it.

Most DO schools will take your best set of MCAT scores. I HIGHLY recommend you submit ALL scores. I have heard from many sources that you will get grilled if you don't submit all your scores and they will question what you are trying to hide (even if you are not hiding anything). To the admissions folks, who we all know hold the golden interview key, it looks suspicious when you withhold any information. Why take a chance in not even getting an interview? You can always come up with a reason for crappy MCAT scores, but if you find out you aren't getting invites for interviews, you will probably start to question whether this might be due to witholding information.
