When you've got two MCAT scores, which one does the adcom consider?

Here's the situation, I took the mcat in aug 2003 and then again in april 2004.
Scored 3 pts better in april with almost identical breakdown except for a 3 pt jump in BS. How would Adcoms, specifically UC schools, look at my scores. Would they only consider my higher score and totally ignore the first one, take an average of both tests or do something else? does anyone have any info on this

How the interpret your results are school specific.

i pretty sure someone posted a thread listing most schools and their procedures. In general, i think only tufts and UMass takes the highest from each individual section, and most others look at the most recent. Of course, there's a variety of other ways depending on the school.
