Sorry if this has been brought up before, but does anyone know how the delay of MCATs will affect this cycle? Will it be optional? Delayed? Extended? Does anyone have any insight?

****The Novel Corona Virus/COVID-19 & the Future for Premeds(Post Count #018)****
Because of COVID-19 and the very dynamic changes this will bring throughout society for the this year (and likely for the next 2-3 years if pandemics of the 20th century would indicate), questions will come up again and again about online prereqs, P/F courses, MCAT prep and testing, volunteering, shadowing, Physician LOR, lab requirements, etc. However, there is no definitive answer as no one knows which schools will act in which ways, nor how the upcoming cycle will happen. However, as medical schools are on the front lines of this both in treating patients as well as setting appropriate behavior for community public health, it would seems reasonable that most medical schools will take into consideration over the next few years at least. How this might be in 3-5 years is anybody's guess.
