I took the MCAT on 8/21/2015. So far this cycle I have only made it to the waitlist of 2 MD schools. I believe that the reason I have only been waitlisted is more related to GPA / Experiences than my MCAT score. As a result, I would prefer to not have to take the MCAT again. I know the rule is that the MCAT can only be 3 years old for most schools (2 for some others). However, is this 3 year period referring to the time you begin classes or when you begin applications? I am concerned that if I am not accepted to medical school this year then part of the process of reapplying will include retaking the MCAT, even for schools with the 3 year rule. Any feedback is appreciated.
