Friendlyapplicant Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 If I wish to apply to Canadian med schools, can I write AAMC MCAT or is there a separate MCAT for Canadian students? I tried registering on AAMC website but all the test dates from March to July are unavailable.. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 It is the same test - all through the AAMC That test fills up fast - it is rather annoying. You would think they had a better way to give everyone a chance to write that. If you are needing it for next year snag what you can, and consider locations if needed that require travel. I almost had to go to buffalo to write mine if you would believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote mine in Rochester, because the next closest one to southern Ontario was Winnipeg! It really doesn't matter where you write it, the only difference was the "no guns allowed in the testing center" sign on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, does add a lot extra annoyance and cost with these trips, and they aren't always possible. Still at least there are often options even if extreme.

UWCC Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Check as frequently as you can. If you do, you will likely snag an open spot. People will drop/change their time slots. I know this because I was able to change mine when a spot opened up last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this because I was able to change mine when a spot opened up last year. some people buy any spot that works and then pay to exchange if something opens up - a bit of a compromise if you are worried about getting nothing.
