Tried to do a search on this but had some trouble. I'm thinking of applying this cycle since I'm finishing up my last prereq. It would be my first attempt at it and since I'm not taking summer courses, I can dedicate a lot of time studying. From here, I read that I should take it by April at the latest? But someone also told me since I'm only applying DO that I can afford to wait til around August to take the MCAT.
I know I should take it when I'm ready, but when would be the latest I can take it and still be considered early for DO school applications?? My GPA will probably be around 3.1c/3.3s after this semester, I have letters from professors and a DO I shadowed, so I just need to tackle the MCAT!
(side note: I would like to go to LECOM in Bradenton since it's close to home but beggars can't be choosers)
