Applying to Medical School while waiting for NMAT?

[freakjojo06]

Guys, Hope you can help me on this one...

I'm a registered nurse who wants to be a doctor...

My question is,

Is it ok for any medical school to let me apply while I haven't taken the NMAT? but I'm planning on taking it this december... thanks....

Yes, you can.
I applied to only 2 state university med schools, and the one with much higher NMAT grad cut-off interviewed me even without my NMAT result yet. The other state school which also had an NMAT cut-off interviewed. Just make sure to send the result asap or follow up with the registrar.
That was a few years back though, so you may have to update with the schools you applied to.
