Do MCATs expire?

[herma035]

Hello,

I took the MCATs in 1997 and 2000 when I was applying for US schools, and, I have recently been thinking about applying to Ross. I cant find any info on the Ross website or on these forums about a required timeframe for taking the MCAT. Are my tests still valid or do I need to retake them?

Thanks for your help

Herma, you must have missed it on the Ross website.

Here is the link to the Frequently Asked Questions on the Ross website:

http://www.rossmed.edu/Frequent_questions/frequent_questions.html

I recommend that you read every word of the website there. But since you asked here is the answer you wanted:

How old can my MCAT scores be?
Currently, there is no prior date by which the MCAT must have been taken. For instance, test scores obtained prior to 1995 are also acceptable.


If your most recent undegraduate or graduate coursework was too long ago they may require that you take the MERP (Medical Education Review Program) which will catch you back up to speed. But in terms of the MCAT, you should be okay.

Hey MitchDC,

Thanks for the reply. I looked through the admissions section but not the FAQs.

Thanks!
