Well, I will be a junior this coming academic year, and I haven't started studying for the MCAT yet. During Fall and Spring I am taking some hard classes so I am not sure If I can study the MCAT during the school year. So is it possible to take the MCAT on July 2010, and still be competitive applicant and start Med school Fall 2011. I saw the MSAR book and some medical schools say, the last MCAT they accept is September- Isn't the earlier the better? When is the latest to apply and still have a good chance of getting in - (having a good MCAT and GPA)? I just one to take the MCAT onetime and be done with it. Any help is appreciated.
