Per Section or Composite?

Does anybody know what schools look at your individual MCAT scores (each section) and which just go with the composite?

Most of them look at each section - if you got a 30, but that was a 14PS, 4VR, 12BS, and your first language was English, you probably would get turned away from a school that would've accepted you had your scores been 10, 10, 10.

yup, it's all important. maybe not equally important at each school, but certainly you want to have each section as high as possible.

that said, i don't sit on an adcom., but i am pretty sure this is common procedure, even though i heard last year AMCAS started reporting our whole score.

writing is less important, i've heard.
