saved this video, I'm a procrastinator so I'll check this video out the week before 😅. Gunning for JANUARY and hopefully 510+ God willing. I seriously love this channel.
What do you think about taking the MCAT in May (15th or 23rd) if I plan on applying to MD programs? I also plan on submitting my applications at the very earliest. What do you recommend? Is taking the MCAT in May ideal?
If you are very confident in your MCAT performance, then May is a perfectly good time. However, you won't receive your scores back for a month, so if you would like to see your scores before applying, I would suggest a March or April test day. One option that I've seen students do is apply to 1 school in AMCAS to get verified, then add more schools after receiving their score. I'll also say, I am NOT an admissions expert, so I would always defer to your academic advisor if you have one.
Hello, I'm currently in my junior year of university, and I plan to take the MCAT this summer! My junior year ends this May, marking the start of summer break. However, I do want to start medical school right after I graduate. Does that mean I have to take the MCAT before the application cycle starts this year, or am I applying for the next cycle next year? I don't actually want to have to deal with a gap year.
Although I am not an admissions expert, I believe you do need to have an MCAT score in order to apply or scheduled MCAT date at the time of application. Because MCAT scores take a full month to be released, most advisors I have spoken with recommend taking your MCAT at the latest, 1 month before you submit your application. It sounds like you are still in school, so I would absolutely recommend reaching out to the advisor at your program for more information!
Unfortunately yes. Most medical school applications close in the fall (now-ish) for matriculation in 2025. With your timeline, I would plan to apply in summer of 2025 for 2026 matriculation!
Not at all! The most important consideration when picking a date is to make sure it's a time that feels good for you and gives you enough time to prepare.

Glad you're liking the videos! Here's your "week before" reminder! 😊
Took the MCAT and did fantastic. Your videos helped a ton thanks for being so articulate and uplifting.
Congratulations! I'm so happy to hear that!

It's on the list!
I am graduating on May 2025 and I want to take my MCAT in April. Is it too late to apply for the 2025 medical school year?
Unfortunately yes. Most medical school applications close in the fall (now-ish) for matriculation in 2025. With your timeline, I would plan to apply in summer of 2025 for 2026 matriculation!
@@bremmethod Thank You so much for the response. It makes more sense now
Is January 24th bad since it’s the last date for the month?
