I am in my second year of my undergrad, and I am majoring in Biology and Japanese. By next spring, I will have all of the required courses for the MCAT finished. However, I plan on studying in Japan for what would be my fourth year (for a year or just spring semester, still undecided) and graduating the year after.
I don't know when I should take the MCAT and apply for medical school. Usually you take the MCAT the spring of your junior year, but I will be in Japan. I would like my experience in Japan to be a part of my application, so I will apply the summer after I come back.
But when should I take the MCAT? Is there an amount of time before applying that is "too early" to take it, such as an entire year or even a year and a half before?
Thank you =)
