Hey SDNers,
So I'm retaking the MCAT (took it April 06), anyway I'm graduating in early May 07 and I plan on taking the MCAT either June 15th or July 13th. I'm a little conflicted over the positives vs negatives of taking the exam at the earlier date. I've read a lot of advice stating "APPLY EARLY", and with all the people taking the MCAT from jan-may, I feel like taking the MCAT in July would put me at a severe disadvantage. But, at the same time I will only have 1 month to study if I choose to take the June test. However, I will be able to devote my time completely to studying during this time, so I'm thinking 6-7hrs/day for 4 weeks should be enough. What do ya'll think?
