Schools with a 500 mcat cutoff

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
No one would know this answer unless they are actually part of an admission committee, and no ADCOM is gonna post that here. But with an MCAT less than 500, but between (497-499), my first advise would be to retake it and do better because your odds are pretty much restricted to newer (or brand new) DO schools.

Touro CA and NV have 500 minimum, off the top of my head. You would have to double check that though
 
KCU 501 last I knew. Nova may have a 500 minimum based on word of mouth from some of their current students. They don't explicitly say on their website. I applied with a 3.6 gpa 499 MCAT to 14 DO schools it landed me 3 interview invites to ARCOM, VCOM-Auburn, and PCOM-SGA. Definitely retake MCAT to surpass 500 if you have the opportunity. It will open more doors.
