Do schools see your "MCAT Score Reporting System" ?

Members don't see this ad.

the issue being: a void ?

In the booklet
The MCAT Essentials for Testing Year 2015

https://www.aamc.org/students/download/63060/data/mcatessentials.pdf

it says:

"Indication of a voided exam will be displayed in the MCAT Score Reporting System after the scheduled score release date , but your decision to void an exam is not released to any medical schools."

Does that mean schools get to see the MCAT score Reporting System?

I am so confused because I thought for sure they dont get to see a voided exam. Others are claiming they do.
What if you dont list any schools on the "MCAT Score report".

This is kind of confusing....

[e] They see all attempts but not a score ?

You can't believe everything you read on the internet, so I would take whatever people think someone who might or might not be who they say they are said with a grain of salt. Whatever the AAMC said about not making voided attempts visible to medical schools should be taken as the truth. Why would they lie? People worry too much over this kind of stuff and need to stop. Even if AAMC does make voided exam information available to medical schools, there is literally nothing you can do. You have to grin and bear it like the rest of us.

Just recently what AMCAS said officially:

schools are already swamped with letters of recommendation. The only way that medical schools will find out about your void is if:

you fill out your application and fill in the date your test will be taken
Then you void the exam
Then no score comes back
But you indicated that on this date you have an exam
Now the school sees no score associated with a date

This is the Only way schools know about the void.

"medical schools are already swamped with information. They have letters of recommendation, scores to review and your applications to read. They dont need extra information on top of everything else. The MCAT is to tell them what information you know. A void tells them absolutely nothing about how much you know."

So the belabor the point, if you take the MCAT and dont put it on the application, your record of the void is kept for count purposes only. Schools cannot log in and view information regarding nothing else but scored exams.

I think this was already mentioned.

Just wanted to add, especially since I have been getting inbox about this,

a student who voided the exam and then viewed the score report said the void is not visible. only his scored exam was shown.

Thanks for confirming through multiple channels.
However, given the general pre-med anxiety, I don't think the poor horse can avoid future beatings
