ADCOMS: little Q for you guys!

How fast do medical schools see your new MCAT after you report it?

Just curious since I retook my MCAT and results came back literally yesterday. I already sent the score to AACOMAS and posted the score on the standardized test page so just wondering when they would see the new MCAT? Especially schools that already say I am "in review."

Thanks!!! 🙂
 
Email them to update them. Schools pull "up-dates" at pre-determined times I think. So an update this big (seems like you're happier with this score), would be worth emailing about.
 
Sounds like this is a retake, it recently took about 2 weeks for the AMCAS -> AACOMAS -> complete process for me so expect about that long. Since this is a retake I would definitely email your schools to update them when you get the confirmation email from AACOMAS.

When you know AACOMAS has updated your profile with your new score, sending them an update may increase their interest in you with your new score. It certainly couldn't hurt.

Thanks! For sure! Don't wanna look like I am head over heels and turn them off! You know the typical stress and anxiety running! Time to go do some assignments and watch The Office to relieve that pressure!
