You are more likely to run into issues Re: old MCAT vs new MCAT. AAMC helpfully released a list of schools accepting old vs new in the upcoming years, and by 2016 there are a lot of schools requiring the new.I did some searching on SDN and I couldn't find my specific question, so here it goes.
I took the MCAT in September 2013 and I'm applying to medical school in this cycle (for entry in Fall 2015). BUT things are not looking too good, so I am trying to plan my next move. I'm thinking about joining the Peace Corps if I don't get in this cycle and that is a 2-year + training commitment.
So, QUESTION: Does the MCAT score have to have been received within 3 years of submitting your AMCAS application or within 3 years of matriculating to medical school?
Because if I submit my AMCAS in June 2016 it will not have crossed the 3 year mark, but by the time I enter medical school it will have been over 3 years. See the issue?
Thanks
