Hey!
So the summer of 2016 I will have just finished all my pre-reqs and the pre-program of my major. (I'm gunna be a five year student.... but hell, Biomedical Science/Japanese Major which is like 160+ credits... and study abroad + Undergrad Research + a job + volunteering anything less is impossible. I think that's pretty good for five years even if I have to go summers...)
The following fall I will be in Japan and the spring after that is all clinical lab sciences/japanese advanced program stuff. Because I will have just finished my pre-med reqs by the summer of 2016 I was wondering if it was possible to take my MCAT then, even though I'll be applying for med school in the spring of 2018 (about a year later)
I know it's a bit ahead of myself but I have this bad habit of needing a schedule printed out on my wall... if I don't plan things like this I have issues...
Will med schools raise an eyebrow at why I took my MCATS in the Summer of 2016 and am applying in the spring of 2018? Will this reeeaaallly hurt any chances? Or is this just an "explain it to them and they should be fine."
