Does not writing the MCAT hurt your chances at a residency

Hey
I want to apply to UNIBE and they say that the MCAT is optional. I am a couple of months away from a 4 year BSc at a canadian university, and so have almost no time to write the MCAT this semester. My question is: does not having written the MCAT hurt my chances at a decent residency in the US?
thanks
sierra

no, they care about your USMLEs, not your MCAT.

MCAT

I hear that some Ivy Leaque schools have dropped using the MCAT or thinking about not requiring it anymore.

The answer to that is no and I agree with the previous post.

Q: Does not writing the MCAT hurt your chances at a residency?

A: No any more than not taking the SAT hurts your chances of getting a job after college.
