I will be a junior undergraduate this fall. I have no idea when to take the MCAT. Originally, I would take the MCAT in January 2014, right before school starts in spring. The major roadblock with this method is that studying for the MCAT while taking 14 credit hours of school work in the fall might be difficult (Genetics, Biochemistry, Medical Humanities class, and 2 labs).
I will be volunteering at a research lab during the same semester, but only about 3 hours per week.
Should I take the MCAT this upcoming January after studying everything this Fall, or delay my MCAT until spring 2014 or possibly summer 2014?
I am concerned about managing MCAT studying with school studying, and about the possibility of "burning out". I have never had a part-time job or other part-time commitment that is as significant as studying for the MCAT.
