I was wondering if DO schools will interview before new mcat scores come in, if the first set of scores is competitive enough? I have a 3.93 gpa and a 26 mcat, so I think I am somewhat competitive for a DO school. I'm retaking to imporve my chances. Can I expect to hear from any schools before my new scores come in, or will they definitely wait for the scores? thanks

As long as your new MCAT isn't lower you should be able to be accepted with your first MCAT score. Unless you were trying MD I'm not sure why you retook the MCAT. Also as long as your MCAT break down is normal with no 5 or 6 so it is good.
