As long as you have completed your pre-med course requirements and have the time to dedicate about 300 hours of study, then yes, a September date definitely reasonable! It also allows you time for a retake if needed in January or March - it is always good to build in a back up plan if this is your first attempt. If you also want more support on your prep, I am running a Live Online MCAT Course specifically geared towards people taking the MCAT in August or September of this year. I'll attach the preregistration link in this comment. And there will be a lot more information coming out about it in the first week of April! bit.ly/summer2024preregistration
I plan on applying for the 2025 cycle. I plan on taking the MCAT in September to get it out of the way. Is this too early, or is it fine?
