I searched but only found threads about advice on when to retake the MCAT.
I have a friend (yes, really a friend - I'm not talking about myself) who took the MCAT on April 9th. He heard that adcoms will take his highest score from each section if he takes it twice (i.e. highest combined score) so he's planning to take it again on May 20th, even though he hasn't seen his score from the first exam yet.
I know med schools will look at both scores, but I haven't heard about them looking at your highest combined score like colleges do for the SAT. Before I talked to him, I wanted to see if this is indeed the case or not.
So, do adcoms look at your highest combined scores on the MCAT?
LizzyM, your advice is welcome and would be greatly appreciated.
