So, suppose one took the MCAT in undergraduate under the old test and performed poorly or average (or in my case, well with what I perceive to be a test day fluke terrible section that I still can't really explain). Now, suppose that the person has a fully funded international opportunity (e.g. MBA, Master's in Public Health, PhD) present itself that he/she chooses to pursue before medical school application that still fits with their overall career goals as a physician down the line. Flash forward at the end of the experience and with a bit of shadowing back home and clinical volunteering abroad, patient care is definitely part of his/her career picture and they put in their application and sit the MCAT 2015. With the previous score expired and no longer valid at most schools, how will it be considered, if at all? For the sake of the hypothetical let's assume the new exam goes extremely well.
It's a bit of a moot point for me as I'm applying and it is what it is, but out of curiosity and for the sake of other non-traditional students who are likely to be in similar situations over the next 1-5 years I thought I would ask the question.
