does medical school (m.d.) take your newest score or highest one?

I assume they take the highest score, but that doesn't mean you should take it a bunch of times before you get a good score. The amount of times you take it affect your application as well.

All scores are considered. Getting a 40 on your first try is better than getting a 31,35,40. Your highest score should be your most recent score. Retaking to get an even worse score looks bad.

Thanks for clarifying. I knew they looked at all scores, but that the one you scored higher on was the one that showed an upward trend. I just worded it wrong.

Don't some schools do a compilation type deal where they take your highest score in each category?

I wasn't aware that they showed scores that were over two years old.. 😕

No disrespect intended, but how do you have 2400 posts and not know all mcat scores are released?
