Question about which DO schools "Supercore" their MCAT

[Robin-jay]

Hello, do you guys happen to know any DO schools that take the highest sectional score of each MCAT test taken, and combine them?

For example:

MCAT #1 : 125/125/126/125 : 501

MCAT #2 : 125/128/125/125 : 503

MCAT "superscore" score : 125/128/126/125 : 504


Thanks!

I don't think I've ever heard of that. I know many schools take your highest overall score, but not sectional scores. There is almost no difference between a 503 and a 504 anyways.

Here are the MD schools that partake in this:
Multiple MCAT Score Policy School List

GWU (an MD school) says: "We will continue to take the highest of each subsection across MCAT exams."

This is called "superscoring".

Here are DO schools that either "use to" or "still do". However, this thread was compiled many years ago, and wondered if this still held true.

Composite MCAT

However, maybe this is outdated? What do you think?

P.S. I gave a hypothetical situation, my situation would be a little better if any schools did this.

I had no idea this existed. It must be to inflate their matriculant MCAT scores.

A 504 vs a 503 will not make one speck of difference for an adcom. You have other things to worry about.

I'm guessing no D.O. schools "superscore" anymore?

None. Also the difference between a 503 and 504 is essentially nonexistent.

I asked the few remaining DO schools that used to have this policy a couple years ago, and they since abandoned the method.
