Does anyone know if you take your MCAT again and didn't improve your score, if you HAVE to report it to AACOMAS for your application? I'm sitting on a 24 right now and I'm supposed to take it again on the 15th but can't break a 25 on the AAMC practice exams. If I have to report the new scores, I'm thinking it may just be in my best interest to not retake until the next cycle if I don't get in this time. Any advice?

Yes, you have to report all scores.
People have gotten in with a 24, but you'll be at a significant disadvantage and some schools will auto-screen you out.
How does the rest of your application look? GPAs? ECs?
 
I have a sGPA of the 3.39 and a cGPA of a 3.35 with a HUGE upward trend of mostly all A's my junior and senior year. I've been a scribe and have done a decent amount of EC's, but I don't think its much more than the average applicant.

If you are averaging at the score you received then either
1) do not retake and apply, you have strong ECs and if you have something in setting to offer to medicine then you'll be fine
2) post pone retake until you change your study strategy to such a way that you see yor Mcat practice tests increasing by 4-9 points averaged.
