i know we declare our state of residence on the primary app., but didn't the mcat also ask us to declare a state of residence? what if we declared a state on the mcat that we do not want to declare on the application and for med school admissions in general? will this be a red flag or create other problems? thx.

My state of residence when I took the MCAT is different than that I declared on AMCAS; this hasn't been a problem. I can't remember if you "declare" one on the MCAT - just listing an address isn't the same - but schools will consider the one you declare on AMCAS as accurate.
