Dear Advisors,

We want to let you know about a change in the score reporting timeline for MCAT exams in January 2021. Scores from all January exams will be reported in about two weeks instead of four weeks.

This change will help students who still want to take the MCAT exam and submit scores in their 2021 applications. It will also help with admissions timelines for the medical schools that are accepting January 2021 scores. The new score reporting schedule is posted on our website. 

We will return to the typical 30- to 35-day score reporting schedule beginning in March 2021.   

We’ve been carefully listening to and considering input from our entire MCAT community. Thank you to everyone whose feedback contributed to this decision. We will continue to evaluate what we can improve as the pandemic evolves. 

As a reminder, registration for the January and March dates begins at noon ET on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Students still have time to preregister (through Nov. 9 at 5 p.m. ET), which gives them a head start on filling in their personal information. You can learn more about registration and the 2021 testing year on our website. Additionally, the slides from our annual prehealth advisor webinar  are now available on the AAMC’s Advisors Hub at aamc.org/advisors. We will have the recording available shortly.


Sincerely,
The MCAT Team
