Hey everyone, I want to know how being registered for the MCAT affects current applications (not right now, I mean during the 2015-2016 application cycle).
I took the Jan 15th MCAT and ended up with a 33 (11PS/9VR/13BS), which is an acceptable score for many American Medical Schools however the 9 in VR doesn't make the cut-off at a number of Canadian Medical schools (I'm from Ontario).
From what I gather on SDN, when you are registered for the MCAT - AMCAS reports this to the schools you are applying to and they will hold off on reviewing your application until they receive your new score. What I want to do is apply to American medical schools as soon as possible (hopefully submit by June 1st), become verified and complete secondaries quickly so that I can register for a new sitting in late August to apply to Canadian schools.
I imagine if I pass the stage of receiving a secondary, then the re-write will not affect my application, but I don't know. Does anyone know how this will affect my application?
