Hi everyone,

I am excited to finally apply for this upcoming cycle as a non-trad and I take the MCAT this early May,

I’m hoping to understand where I stand with *if needing to reschedule the MCAT, what the last absolute date I can schedule is.

I am juggling a few things atm, although staying on top of studying, and so what would be the last date for me if I need to reschedule where I would still some what have the early bird advantage for schools?

Thanks!

I’d say towards the last week in May or so if you want to be ready for this cycle. Now the downside to that is if you bomb it you’re taking another gap year. But I think the typical advice of “take it in March or April so you can retake if needed” is bad anyway
