Hey so I realized I don't think I ever got a direct answer for this. I took the MCAT (old) twice in 2014 and scored a 28 and 26. I was kind of an idiot and thought I could handle juggling school, work, research, and significant club responsibilities while trying to study for it because I wanted to start med school ASAP. Needless to say say I fell flat on my face with the scores, and ended up with two MD interviews which I ended up being rejected from.
While the thought of taking it ever again was dreadful, I took the new one this year on the advise of a medical school admissions staff. This time I put a lot more time and effort, and ended up with a 518 since I only had to worry about a laid-back part-time job. Is taking the MCAT a third time and/or my two previous scores going to be a killer for me? I don't know if it matters, but I wasn't planning on talking about my previous two scores unless asked directly about it by schools.
