MCAT/Entrance Exams
Identifying when you will completing the prerequisite courses for the MCAT is important in deciding when to take this high stakes exam. The MCAT is a key resource for professional programs to evaluate an applicant’s ability to study, prepare, and handle a standardized exam. Most students begin outlining their timing for MCAT preparation and identify an exam date in their second semester of their second year in college. Meeting with a pre-health advisor to review the prerequisite courses and other elements of your application will assist in deciding the best time to prepare and to take the MCAT.
