MCAT validity

[glittering_star]

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about MCAT validity. I took my MCAT in Jan 2023, applied twice now and might need to try again next year. Would my MCAT be valid for the 25-26 cycle (2026 matriculation) for schools that take the MCAT for 3 years? Like is the 3 years measured from Jan 2023-Jan 2026 or would I be ok for that cycle. Thank you!

It is school specific. I took my MCAT in 5/2022 and I was able to apply to many schools this year. There were some schools I had to drop from my list tho because it expired. The link below will show you what the requirements were for this current cycle (so you can just add a year and assume that's what it will be for the 2025-2026 cycle).
