Read up on the CIB for many general application questions. BTW many schools will only accept up to the September test. Like I said, though, read the CIB.

the last day for mcat is sept 13, the next one after that would be January.

I did it, it is very difficult to get in but possible. You have to apply to schools that take late applicants and pray. If you have a good set of schools you apply to, you have a possibility.

Check the CIB. Find where the individual schools are described and look under MCAT. Each school says whether they accept the September MCAT and also the January 2009 MCAT. Don't waste time and money applying to ones that say they don't. They're serious. So study up, crush it in January, and make sure you have all of your letters ready to go or on Interfolio and all of the essays written for when you get secondaries. Also, you should still apply whenever you get AACOMAS done, so that doesn't slow you down later, as well.
