I am going into my sophomore year of college and am wondering when I should consider scheduling my MCAT test. I hear that it is a huge advantage taking the MCAT in the summer because there is no other classwork to focus on, only the MCAT.
However, I was wanting to do research next summer, the summer before my junior year because I have none as of right now. I feel like if I tried to do research and study/take the MCAT at the same time it could potentially be too much to handle, but at the same time If I take it during the school year of my junior year then I have school to focus on as well.
I really do not want to wait to take it until the summer before my senior year because then I will have to wait a year after I graduate to go to medical school, however I would consider it if it would really put me at that much of an advantage.
What are your thoughts/opinions on this matter and my situation in particular, if you were me, what would you do?
