AACOMAS MCAT date error?

Sorry for making a topic on this, it doesn't look like the Sticky gets much traffic.

When I input my MCAT date onto AACOMAS, the dashboard always shows the date as one day prior. So I would input that I took the test on 1/15/2015, but on the dashboard, it would say "test taken: 1/14/2015".
Any idea what to do with this?

Also, I couldn't find this on their instruction manual, but we should input all MCAT scores if we took the test more than once right, not just the highest?

Yes, input all tests taken

And I wouldn't worry about the date too much if it's 1 day off and that's the only option they're giving you. It's more important to put that you took the test and your score

What if you click the 16th? Will it change it to the 15th? Try using a different browser or just type in the date. That's what I did and I had no problems.

Hmm. Do we have to list all MCAT scores? I don't remember reading that anywhere...

I'm pretty sure it's in there, though I admit I haven't read through the entire manual posted.

But yes, you are required to list all scores- not pick and choose. They will find out and see you didn't list them and it will not look good.
@gonnif can you please confirm?

Well, you are required to send the MCAT report anyways electronically from AAMC anyways, which lists ALL of your scores since 2003.

Hiding them won't do you any good because they'll know.

Okay. I had thought AACOMAS allowed like a...ScoreSelect option like with the SATs. Oh well.

Collegeboard SAT's and AAMC are very different beasts. AACOMAS is already generous with grade replacements.

This is totally in the official application questions thread, on like the second page, remember that resource. 🙂

If I remember correctly someone emailed them about this and said they were aware of the issue and just fill out dates as normal.

Yeah, if I click the 16th, it says the 16th in the editing portion, but says the 15th when I'm back in the dashboard.
I tried it on Chrome and IE, but still no luck.

 

[Grace184]

See @samac response...they are aware of the issue. Again, I would focus more on the score vs 1 day off of taking them. They can see all your results. As gonnif said, all scores are reported, wether or not you want them to be.

How do we know if AACOMAS has received our MCAT score and attached it to our app? I never received any notification yet of this happening and I had my MCAT sent probably 4 weeks ago.
