Hi, I've been thinking of studying abroad in China next spring for a semester, but I also just decided two weeks ago to apply to D.O. school next year as well. I would be in China from February to late June..but assuming I'd want to apply early, in early June, would I be able to do so abroad?
I'd also need to take the MCAT in the spring..does anyone know about the international test sites and any policies there are for non-citizens? Thanks for any advice you can give me!

You can apply from abroad, given you have internet connection and can request transcripts electronically. I'm not sure about the international testing sites. sry!
 
you should take the mcat during the fall or maybe before you study abroad, like in january. study abroad, its such a great experience!
