I got an email telling me that my MCAT scores have not been released to the application service. In reality, I know they already have my most recent scores because their date of receipt appears on my status check page & I have interviewed at all the TX schools I applied to. They are actually asking for my first set of scores, which I have not authorized for release. Does anyone know if I have to release all scores to be eligible for the match? Or can I leave it at just giving them my most recent score and still match? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
 
i would think that if the texas schools did not ask you for them at your interview and you DID interview, then you don't need to realease them. The interview signals a completed application. however, maybe it is the non-texas schools that need them. i do not know. but to be safe, you should call the texas schools or the application service and ask them if they absolutely need your old mcat scores. sorry, don't have a solid answer for that.

I interviewed at Texas Southwestern with an incomplete application, but they gave me a letter when I arrived asking me for the missing info for my file.
 
When I interviewed at Southwestern they did not notify me of any missing documents, nor did they indicate that they needed all MCAT scores. Same for all the other TX schools I interviewed with.

Anybody have any idea if my eligibility in the TX match will be jeopardized if I only release my most recent MCAT scores? Does it depend on the school or on the application service? Still very <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
