So in my opinion, I would not take the January one. That'll be during second term when you're taking biostatistics, homeostasis and organ systems I, and micro anatomy and embryology. Embryology is notoriously one of the tougher classes and the professor always makes exam 2 right before or after the January MCAT. The folks who take the January MCAT do very poorly on exam 2 and she tells us that. You will have her first term as well so feel free to get her opinion as she is on the adcom. It's easier to take it in September and get it out of the way. You will also have a little more time then, in comparison to the rest of the terms. It's ultimately your decision.

Great I think the one in September is better as well. Also what time do the classes on the GA campus typically begin. I have not heard anything in regards to orientation.
Thank You
That is so true i spoke to someone at the Georgia Campus and she recommended I take it in January but I think i am going to do it in September and if I need to retake which i'm not planning to have to then i will do so in January.Just remember, don't sacrifice your grades studying no matter when you take it. All classes are equally important

Dunno, we should have access to the class on blackboard in a couple weeks though. It sounds like a lecture class so I'd imagine it's mostly through exams.For the PCOM-PA campus, how many tests are their for the Molecular Basis of Medicine? (ie. is the entire grade based off of just one big exam)
Also, what impacts the final grade besides the tests? Do they have homework or attendance points or are grades based strictly off of tests?
We have a google doc for all your bookshas anyone heard anything about required textbooks, supplies, etc.? ga campus specifically. thanks!
hey guys! any questions...let me know! I just finished my first year in the biomed program and it was difficult but great!
How important is the reading? Will she ask very detailed oriented questions on her exams or will they be generally conceptually based?

When does the application open for 2017
I submitted to GA on Monday and received an email acknowledgment of my application last night. It also included a log in to check document status, so they are already accepting applications. Not sure when they will actually start reviewing though.
Do you know the minimum MCAT requirement for this program? My MCAT is really low but I would like to apply asap as I am on lower GPA side
I don't think they have a minimum, but maybe one of the current biomeds can provide a range of scores that have been accepted in the past.
From my understanding its more of a holistic application review. I'm applying with a 497 MCAT.
I'm applying with 488 but I'm wondering about the GPA. If it's not using grade replacement, I am going to be at the low end. So probably around 2.8 ish.
And yeah I'm gonna apply today or soon!
