I was wondering if you can tell me where I would find out what D.O. schools prescreen for the secondary applications and which ones send you a secondary regardless of your application?
Also, if you take the MCAT more than once are there schools that will take the higher section out of all the scores? or do they just take the newest score regardless?
Thanks.
 
Try this for the prescreening question. The MCAT question has been asked before, but is very hard to compile data for. Individual anecdotes are often the only evidence. Figure out where you want to apply, then call them up and ask. Feel free to report what you find, here, so others can benefit. 🙂
