New MCAT2015 -

[Jaynie]

Hello!

 

I'm wondering if the students applying for medical school for 2017 fall will need to write the new MCAT2015 or will the old MCAT (precisely 2013-2014) be acceptable? Has this been decided by the AAMC and med school admission officers?

 

This is a quote from : https://www.aamc.org/students/applying/mcat/mcat2015/faqs/

Examinees will need to be informed that, as of a certain date, medical schools will only accept the new exam with their application. How is that being addressed?

 

The AAMC and medical school admissions officers are currently considering this question. They are weighing the pros and cons of asking all applicants for the 2016 entering class to take the new exam. They’re also talking about the window within which they would accept scores from the current exam if they decide to accept scores both from the current and new tests for 2016 admission. AAMC and the admissions officers expect to decide on this question in June and will communicate it to stakeholders via e-mail to our 4,000-member listserv (including pre-health advisors and other baccalaureate faculty), postings on the MCAT2015 Web site, and through social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
