FAQ related to COVID-19
MCAT
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic several Spring MCAT test dates have been canceled, will Stanford Medicine make any changes to the application requirements?
With the exception of MCAT requirements, all
application requirements remain the same.
With regard to the MCAT, applications may be submitted without an MCAT score taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 14-September 30, 2020. For applications without any prior reported MCAT scores, MCAT is optional for the 2021 admissions cycle.
MCAT scores for the examination period, January 2017 – September 30, 2020, will be reported if available from AAMC. See the
AMCAS 2021 cycle update for more information.
Will the MCAT deadline be extended as a result of the reduced exam date availability?
The period for acceptable scores has been extended: January 2017 – September 30, 2020. However, taking an MCAT examination during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 14 - September 30, 2020 is optional. Applications may be submitted without an MCAT score unless reported by AAMC.
How will my application be evaluated without inclusion of an MCAT score?
Stanford Medicine Admissions applies a holistic review of the applications.
