MCAT deadline

[Maggie19]

Can we send in our MCAT score after the application deadline? I'm writting mine on August 30th and the score should be released on October 1st, which is usually the deadline for applications. Will it be ok?

Yes  It says so on their website. As long as you write the MCAT this summer/September, you're good. Even if score release is after October 1. They have to be in by Nov 1

Yes you can! I wrote mine last year in mid-September.

Thank you!! Such a relief!

Anyone know if UBC has the same policy?

UBC is more strict. Read their website. I think ~Aug 25 is last chance MCAT date.

I checked and it says that the last date is August 31st (release date October 1st) but the deadline to receive the score is October 1st (4pm Pacific time).. so if anything happens that the score isn't released in time (system crash or something), you're pretty much screwed.  I changed my date to the 17th just to be on the safe side. I didn't want to risk it.
