Moving my MCAT date from May 29th to June 20th or June 27th.

I am planning on taking my MCAT on May 29th but am not sure if I will be able to take it due to the CVOID 19 Situation. Additionally, I am taking a full course load on top of studying and it has started to have some negative effects on my grades. Would it be a good idea to move it too late June because of the uncertainty of my test date and to preserve my grades? I am applying primarily DO but, still want to apply to some in state MD programs. If I move it to June it would give me more time to prep. once classes are over and there will be a better chance of actually being able to take the exam.

A June MCAT is plenty early enough to be successful for an MD cycle so long as your app is ready to rock’n’roll once you have your score!

As the DO cycle runs longer than MD, even a Sept/Oct exam wouldn't be late.

BTW, June is still early for MD. Even an early August exam date is fine there.

Thank you again @Goro for the advice. All your help has been greatly appreciated.
