Is it possible to take the April 2006 mcat exam and apply for DO schools to marticulate in Fall 2006?

Yes you may for some schools, it is past the AACOMAS deadline but if you have submitted your AACOMAS before then there is no prob. I am planning to do that very same thing and so far 2 of the 3 osteo. schools I am applying to have said it is ok - the only disadvantage is you may not know the decision until June 2006. Best Wishes.

Cool, thanks. What three schools where the school that u mentioned?
 
I know several students who are now MS1s at LECOM Erie who took their first MCAT in April 2005, so I know it's possible there.

The MCAT must be taken the year prior to matriculation. That's just how it works.

I know it must be taken prior to marticulation, but i m saying is what if i took the up coming april exam, would i still be able to apply for a seat in next years class?

Contact the individual schools, that is your best bet, Best wishes!

Yea, probably the best bet. I ve had a few people tell me it can't be done, but i m glad to hear that there is still hope 👍
