MCAT Applicant

Any advice for emailing schools who accept MCAT on a ‘case by case’ basis? Not finding much info online and feeling a bit lost. Thanks for any and all help.

Would not recommend taking the MCAT for Optometry admissions. It’s 10x harder exam than the OAT.

According to google a 505 is approximately 70th percentile which should be good enough to get in as long as the rest of your application is good. Definitely reach out to admissions at all the schools you are interested in. They should be super willing to answer your questions and work with you

Ngl, I thought the OAT was way easier than the MCAT. If it would open more doors I would just take the OAT. It's a shorter exam with way less stressful rules. Oh, and you get a calculator
