Medical Question regarding DO admissions

Hi, I was wondering how DO schools view multiple mcat scores, such as if one were to take the MCAT four times. How does NYITCOM view it specifically? I emailed them, but did not hear back from them. Is it common for schools to not reply to questions via email?

Admissions recruiting is pretty busy right now, so you need to be patient when it comes to email inquiries. (This is one reason why getting out to recruitment fairs is important at this time, and I know NYITCOM is very active with a national recruiting schedule.) You can check out the open house schedule on the AACOM website. You should also be sure to get the AACOM College Information Book which might shed some light on the MCAT retake issue for each school. They also host a virtual recruitment fair, though I don't know if this has already occurred.

At my school, we average scores

I can't speak to specifics of NYITCOM, but generally speaking if multiple MCATs are taken, they do want to see improvement on each.

Also I was wondering if applying in July for both DO and MD considered late? I am planning to take my final mcat retake on June 1st. Can I apply to a throwaway school and submit my primary to be verified at least and when I get the June 1 score back (which is july1), can I start adding schools if my score comes out well? Please let me know if this sounds reasonable? Thanks

Not late for either.
