Any opinions/strategies on MR5 and how it could possibly affect you? (http://www.aamc.org/mr5)
I know that this is a bit down the road and many of us are preparing now to finish our prerequisites based on the current MCAT; however, with all that we are doing as non-traditional students, two-three years (maybe longer) to finish the requirements may put some of us on the edge of the timleine in which the new MCATs will be released (at the earliest). Is anyone trying to set their own timelines/goals on ensuring that you take the current MCAT? or perhaps willing to experiment or wait for the new one once it's released?
I hope to finish all of my needed requirements by 2012 and continue my track and study habits based on the knowledge that I will need to better prepare myself for medical school. I'm sure I would be able to adapt to whatever changes the committee decides as it is in the best interest of finding the best medical school candidates but since it may incorporate new methodologies and will contain plenty of errors it may serve to be a disadvantage, although it would be that way across the board.
