2015 MCAT dates released... with incentives?

[Heisenberg 41]

150 bucks should make up for a 7.5 hr exam, right?

"To encourage examinees to be the first to take the new exam, AAMC will provide April 2015 examinees with a $150.00 Amazon.com gift card."

What if you have FAP? What would be the registration fee for MCAT 2015?

"Students who qualify for FAP benefits will be charged a reduced registration fee of $115... FAP recipients who take the exam in April of 2015 will receive a $60.00 Amazon.com gift card."

Wow, way to turn off people who FAP.

I'd say they still finish nicely. It's less a turn off and more a slight buzz kill.

150 dollars to take a test blind lol...no thanks.

Why can't they extend this to May? It isn't as if the April people will know their scores.

I think cause the May test takers will have the advantage of hearing about the test from April test takers.

Well technically some of the April test takers could tell some of the other April test takers (who are taking the MCAT at a later date in April) about it though right?
