Hello everyone,
I took the MCAT last summer and received a 30. Although this is decent, I KNOW I can do better and I have decided to take the MCAT over.
I want to give myself two months of this summer to study the areas I am weak on.
This will put my test date in mid July, yet I will be applying in June.
This leads me to 2 main questions:
1. Will med schools know that I am retaking the exam? Is there a place on the application I can state that I will be retaking in July?
2. Will this cause my application to be reviewed too late in the cycle to have a decent shot of getting in?
Any advice?
Thanks so much.
