Medical School Entrance Exams

The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is required by all Allopathic and Osteopathic medical schools. Applicants should ideally complete the MCAT no later than April prior to their anticipated application cycle which opens in May.

 

However, each candidate’s holistic preparation and timing of taking the MCAT is different, so completion of the MCAT by April is simply a general recommendation based on when application cycles begin.
