Ok, so I hard a pretty busy semester this past spring and I was not able to meet with my advisor to go over all of this so hopefully some knowledge people here can help me out 🙂.
I will be a junior this Fall 2013 and I am just confused on when to apply to med school and when to take the MCAT. I want to take the easier one before the 2015 one is offered which is said to be harder. When to people usually apply to med school and take the MCAT? End of junior year? Senior year? How does it work? Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that you are so confused.

Learn to be independent and solve problems for yourself rather than asking for help on simple tasks... it will aide you much more than any single poster here could (including me). Good luck.

Best,

Your MCAT is valid for 3 years so if you want to matriculate into medical school right after you graduate, then you apply for med school the end of junior year. This means you have to take your MCAT before (e.g. I'm in the same boat as you and am taking my MCAT this September -- you have to register really early by the way). Application process takes a loooooooong while too but yeah. I hope that answers your question haha.
