NEED ADVICE!!!!!
I'm supposed to take the MCAT in mid-June, but I have a killer rest of the semester at an top-10 school, and then afterwards am taking Biochem summer session right away until June 15th. The result is that I'll basically have hardly ANY free time to study....
I know that taking the MCAT early is best, but I'm scared that as is, I'll end up hardly studying at all and fail the thing. How bad is it to take the MCAT in late July or early/mid August? Does it put you at a serious disadvantage in your applications to take the test later? I COULD potentially drop biochem, but I'm assuming that would be a terrible terrible idea.
Also, should point I'm already taking a year off... taking 2 just wouldn't be an option.
Any advice would be AMAZING b/c my school premed advisors are useless and no one can really tell me what to do (HELP!!!!)
