Medical College Admission Test

Each applicant must take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) prepared by the American College Testing Program, and the test scores must be available before the Admissions Committee will take action on the application. The MCAT must have been taken no earlier than 2018 and no later than September of the year preceding enrollment into medical school (e.g., if you are applying for entry year 2023, Sept. 10, 2022, is the last date you can take the MCAT). No score from a test taken within the year of enrollment will be accepted. MCAT scores can be no more than five years old. The test is offered multiple times between January and September each year at premedical college centers. The advantage of taking the test in the spring rests in the applicant’s ability to retake it (if necessary) prior to the application deadline.

Registration for the MCAT can be accomplished at the website www.aamc.org.
