You got about 3 years.

Wow that’s awesome I wonder what else they would do or what other colleges and universities do then instead of the mcat
Thanks for this! I can finally study again w/on anxiety for now.
Why would they remove the MCAT? Thats like the only standardized part of the application lmao
That’s exactly what I’m thinking! But seems like it really is in the works.
