So...I've taken the MCAT twice. I scored over 25 the first time, but below the second time. Does anyone know if these programs look at your most recent MCAT score or the highest to determine acceptance?

Any thoughts?

Test score isn't everything. What is your GPA overall and in your major? What medical experience do you have? Do you volunteer? You could try the GRE instead. It is just the SATs all over again.

Thanks for the response. I have my degree in Bio and an overall GPA of 3.6 and major GPA of 3.67. I don't have any paid medical experience, but I do have 150 hours volunteering in a GI/Endoscopy Unit in a hospital and have shadowed a couple physicians.

I know med schools either look at your most recent MCAT or highest MCAT, but none of the AA programs address this on their website.

UMKC looks at your highest MCAT score.
