Hey guys,
I took the MCATs in May of 2011. I've been told the scores last for five years but most selective schools won't accept them if you wait that long to apply. I would really like to matriculate in 2015 (so apply in the summer of 2014). Would the...
Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at studentdoctor):
If you take the MCAT in the yearPretty sure MCAT....
Some schools accept them for 4, 5 or maybe even more years .
I suggest years.
I believe you would have to matriculate fall 2014 at the latest to avoid taking the MCAT again.

I was looking at AAMC data and was a bit surprised by this:
Number of people taking MCAT
2000: 54763
2001: 54503
2003: 58764
2005: 66433
2007: 67828
2008: 75809
2009: 79244
2010: 82004
2011: 86181
That's quite an increase since 2001 yet the data has been...

I think it's safe to say....
Well they also offer more dates to take the MCAT as compared to when they had the paper format so of this increase is due to increase in number of retakers versus number of new people taking the MCAT.

In fact, I did it myself and didn't do too bad .
To respond to tell you that while it is HIGHLY recommended to take all the prereqs before taking the MCAT it is not an impossible task to do well without taking ochem 2.

So it is 1 week away from the actual MCAT.
What is the best way to utilize the remaining time?
Review contents?
keep practicing?
take more FLs?

Get familiar with equations concentrating on that section.
Ima take two aamcs to go over and then just go through mcat-review.org.

Is that true?
how would you break down the MCAT subject-wise and percentage-wise?
Bio
Chem
Ochem
Physics
