"The final MCAT recommendations were approved by AAMCs leadership on February 16, 2012." https://www.aamc.org/download/273766/data/finalmr5recommendations.pdf
I think we lucked out not having to take this. There is an entire other section added plus verbal is boosted from 40 to 60 questions.

Holy cow, this new one looks absolutely brutal compared to what we already have.
Personally I believe all these frills like recommendation letters are excuses to select internal candidates - those recommended by deans, politicians, college donors, etc. That being said, I am so glad they are making the MCAT brutal. I also hope that doctor salaries plunge drastically - and indeed they are plunging quite severely. A doctor in my area has started a car wash because his practice isn't doing as well as expected. A brutal MCAT and plunging financial incentives will ensure only those who really want to serve patients will go into medicine.
