spa Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hello, I was wondering if I can just write the CARS of the MCAT? I was planning on applying to Mcmaster and Ottawa in my third year, hoping to get a solid gpa + exploring my interests through EC's starting this september. Would you suggest I apply to these two schools only if I feel ready or should I write the whole MCAT. Can I write all the other stuff (Biological sciences etc) in a different timing, say in my 3rd year summer? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ontario medical schools (and the majority of American schools) will look at your most recent MCAT, you cannot combine sections from different test dates. That being said, if you are planning to only apply to McMaster and Ottawa, you can gladly skip through the other sections of the test (submit no answers/guess) and only put effort into the Verbal, I wouldn't do it myself but I have heard of people doing this.

Presh Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Does anyone else have any experience doing this? If so, would you care to discuss? (Please! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Do McMasters / Ottawa have a subjective component to your academic assessment? If they do, having 118's on C/P, B/B, P/S might raise some eyebrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakercyclist Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I did this on the old MCAT and got an interview at Mac. Feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 as medmom pointed out it does happen. Obviously you have a focus on a particular school with that approach but it can and does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
