Link Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Last summer i wrote the MCAT and I got a 30, I think I am going to rewrite it so I am more competitive in the states. I know they have rolling admissions in the states and you can submit applications starting on june 1st. If I apply on June 1st when would I have to release my scores? would I have time to write in say mid june and release in july? Can anyone give me any advice on this top???

Hey, You dont have to release your score - AMCAS and MCAT are both AAMC so your schools will be automatically updated with your new score (whether you tell them about it or not). So submit on June 1st and indicate you have new scores coming in (there is a place to do this). That way schools wont review your appliction - label it "complete" - until they receive your new scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzah Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 What a lot of people on SDN do is submit june 1 with only 1 school. Then once they know their mcat they add more. This way you know the score you have and can apply to schools (or not apply) accordingly. Further, you are ahead of the game in getting your transcript verified which is the bottleneck in the primary submission process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImmunoGuy2011 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hi, I can't seem to find this information anywhere. If you rewrite the MCAT do US schools take your highest score, your most recent score or do they just average them out? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North12 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Each school is different so you will have to call up each school you are applying to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
