So I'm currently a sophomore in college and will be done with all the pre-reqs by this semester, then taking more advanced biology/chemistry classes for spring(Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major).
I'm wondering if it seems like a good idea to take the MCAT late summer after my sophomore year? If I do stay in school over summer I'll just be doing research and have a lot of relatively free time, plus the material would still be kinda fresh. However I have heard some say I might as well take it after Junior year because I'll have learnt a lot more in the classes I'll be taking but I also don't want to get too swamped with MCAT studying and classes/research/AMCAS.
Are there any big drawbacks to taking the MCAT so early in my college career?
