Moved my MCAT, will it affect my application timeline?

I recently moved my MCAT from 4/17/10 to 5/27/10. That means I won't get my scores back until the VERY end of June, and neither will the schools I apply to.

I know a lot of schools do rolling admissions, and it's always advantageous to apply early any way. Will it matter if all of my application materials are in by the beginning of July vs. June? Taking the MCAT later is going to push this back...Thanks for your help!

NO, it will not matter

Agree, it won't matter. Take the MCAT on May if you feel that you will be more prepared. Don't rush it.

I pushed mine back to June 18th and got in, so I wouldn't worry. Just make sure you're ready to take it.

DO IT! I'm taking the MCAT may 27th too 🙂

In this case I doubt it will matter. I myself am not taking the MCATs until probably the beginning of July...In my opinion, your record speaks for itself. If you think you could use a boost, take the MCATs early. If you have confidence in your record, just make sure you are ready for the MCATs before taking them. You will usually get interviews regardless....
