Just wanted to double check the accuracy...is 500 considered a 25?

Take a look at AAMC's conversion chart

503 is roughly a 27, and is a cutoff at some schools.

Here are the exact percentile values assigned to each score in the most recent AAMC data release on Old and 2015 MCAT percentiles. More info here

Fearing the change in format, I took my MCAT before the change. I wonder how much chaos it is going to cause as I am going to be compared to students applying with the new format. Then again, I assume adcoms will just compare between percentiles and leave it as that.

Yes several times here adcoms have said they will be using percentiles.
