It’s a way to minimize the costs if your MCAT scores comes back low, because you only paid fees to submit to one school, but it also allows you to still apply (early) for that year and gives you some chance. So you end up only applying to one school. You would know your score and, hopefully, have the confidence to apply to more than one school.īut if you’re not taking the MCAT until you submit your application, then you may lack confidence in your score. That means you would have your score back by the time you submit your application. If you’ve followed my advice from the beginning, you would have taken the MCAT in March or April of the year you’re applying at the latest. I can understand why students appreciate the safety it gives you. But now, I’m starting to come around to it a bit.

What should you do if you get an MCAT score you’re not happy with and you’ve already applied? This recently happened to two students I’m working with. They got scores they didn’t want or expect, and they already applied for this cycle. In this case, you may be in for a rude awakening when your MCAT score comes in. If you push your MCAT back to June or July but you still want to apply early in the cycle, you may end up submitting your application before getting your MCAT score.
