New MCAT Policy - Applicants for the 2018 application cycle must have taken the MCAT between January 2014 and September 2017. We will accept the pre-2015 MCAT for 3 years after the last test date (January 1, 2014). The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is offered on various dates between January and September.
