Subject: Important MCAT Notice
Regarding January Exams
NAAHP is forwarding this message from
Michelle Sparacino at the AAMC to its Advisor Members. Please contact the
AAMC directly with any questions or comments.
Problem Notification & Description:
Many examinees were provided with incorrect start times for the January
administrations. If an examinee shows up late, even if the time he arrives is
the time that is printed on his confirmation, he will not be permitted to
test. The correct exam start times are:
January 27 – 8 am
January 29 – Noon
Examinees must arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time.
MCAT has attempted to reach all January examinees via email and phone,
notifying them of the correct start times. We have also posted a notice and the
correct start times on our Web site.
In addition, we have extended registration through 11:59 pm Eastern
time, January 24, to allow for rescheduling and cancellations.
How You Can Help:
1) Disseminate the above message to your advisees.
2) If you know of an advisee who cannot arrive at the correct start
time, direct the examinee to the MCAT Web site, where he can try to reschedule
his exam to a date with an exam time that better fits his schedule: http://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/registration.htm.
As mentioned above, examinees may reschedule through tomorrow night, 11:59
pm. We will gladly refund change fees; however, cancellation fees are
still in effect.
Cordially yours,
Michelle
