MCAT

Your MCAT score is used as a threshold requirement at the application screening stage. Once you satisfy the minimum requirement, your MCAT score will not be considered any further.

Applying with scores that fall below the minimum will jeopardize the success of your application.

Only your most recent MCAT scores written within five years of the application deadline will be considered.

Yes. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC) are offering a fee assistance program for Canadian examinees in financial need who register for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). The AAMC and the AFMC are committed to providing support to Canadian students who would be unable to take the MCAT without financial assistance. This will contribute to a diversity of students enrolled in Canadian medical schools. 

If paying for MCAT expenses out of pocket would be challenging for you, please consider applying!  To check your eligibility and apply, refer to AFMC's website for information on the Fee Assistance Program
