Do you guys know if certain Osteopathic Schools accept January MCAT? Or do all of them accept January MCAT?

Here is what you do ... the AACOM puts out a PDF information booklet with a run down of each school. On the school description, there is a specific section that asks if the school accepts the January MCAT. To find these, you can go through AACOM, but I always simply google 'AACOM + name of DO school you're interested in' and the PDF page is one of the first results. For example, here is the one for NOVA, which I found by googling 'AACOM Nova Southeastern'

If this is too much of a pain, list the schools you are interested in and I'll find them.

Are you taking it for the first time in January or is it a retake? I think more schools will take a January retake than a first-time tester that late in the game.

Keep in mind you're at a disadvantage since scores won't come in until the end of February, beginning of March, but last application cycle, DMU, LECOM-B, VCOM, and KCUMB accepted the January MCAT. KCOM didn't.

You'll have to call the individual schools to find out if that's changed though.

Yea your right, I will be at a disadvantage. This will be a retake exam, I will just call each school I am planning to apply to and ask them regarding Jan MCAT. Thanks

They'll also want to know if they should put your application on hold until they get the new scores or if they can look at your application now.
