<p>The latest MCAT sitting I’d say is reasonable is May, resulting in a June score. And this isn’t optimal as your school selection is then pushed to the end since it is dependent partially on your MCAT score.</p>

<p>Like Kristin says, applying to med school sucks, so you only want to do it once. AMCAS opens in early June, every day after that means it will take longer to verify, later that you will receive secondaries, fewer interview invitations remaining, yadda yadda yadda. When you’re talking about the actual process of applying to med school, early application is one of the most important factors to a successful cycle IMO.</p>

<p>Give yourself a break, improve your application, take a gap year.</p>

<p>Here’s the timing that bdm gave way back when, wow he really is getting old ;):</p>
