For Applicants: What Steps Do I Take?
Since each student's circumstances are different, the process of applying
for accommodated testing is individualized. In brief, you will be required
to register, obtain and submit documentation completed by a qualified
evaluator, and confirm your accomodated seat (if your request is approved).
The following will guide you through the process:
-
Register for the MCAT exam, making
certain to check the box indicating that you will be requesting accommodations.
-
Read the Documentation Requirements
appropriate to your disability or disabilities and submit them to
your evaluator:
Note: Applicants with chronic medical conditions
(for example, diabetes, migraines, or asthma) or temporarily disabling
conditions (such as a broken leg or recovery from an accident) should
select Documenting Physical Disabilities.
-
Submit the following to the MCAT Office of Accommodated Testing:
- Your own written request in the form of a cover letter
- Your completed Accommodations Request
Form (PDF, 3 pages)
- The documentation received from your evaluator
-
Wait for a decision from the Office
of Accommodated Testing.
-
If your request is approved, you will receive
a letter asking you to confirm your accommodated seat for the
MCAT exam.
-
If your request is not approved, you will receive
a letter explaining the reasons and outlining additional steps
available to you.
Please read Additional Information and Guidelines
for further details of the accommodations process and requirements, including
evaluator qualifications and the currency (timeliness) of the evaluation.
