Check the CIB. It has each school and they list whether or not they accept the January MCAT. You should know, however, that applying late (and after Feb. is late) is not good for you and will limit your chances. The same is to be said of a poor MCAT score so take some time and decide on what you think is best.

Why do you think you will do poorly? Have your practice tests been low, or are you just nervous about taking it? If you've prepared well and have been doing well so far there will be no reason to void.
 
yeah ill think ill do poorly my practice tests havent been that great..i mean its in like two days and i still want to apply for this cycle ..im just hoping that if i do void and retake in january with a good score (hoping so) will i still manage to get an interview since the schools do accept january scores
 
Schools that I checked at last year would only take January scores as an update to their previously completed application. You should check with the programs you are interested in and find out their policy.

In general, though, you should strongly consider postponing your application until next cycle if you don't feel confident about your MCAT preparation.
