MCAT scores: How far back can schools see?

I've had a few nontraditional candidates ask me whether med schools can see very old MCAT scores. Here's the scoop: The Medical College Admission Test folks follow what they call their Full Disclosure policy, which means all scores from exams taken since April 2003 are automatically released to AMCAS and the schools that the applicant specifies. If the applicant tested prior to April 2003, s/he has the choice of whether to send those scores.

For help with your application please contact me via www.InsiderMedicalAdmissions.com . I am scheduling mock interviews up to four weeks in advance so email me soon.

Happy new year!
