If I take the August MCAT can I...

<p>Hi I am thinking about apply to medical school, but wont be ready to take the MCAT until August 2013. (yes I am really planning ahead!)
I have heard that it is a bad idea to take the MCAT during August, due to priority issues with being accepted.
SO, my question is...</p>

<p>Can I take the August MCAT and instead of trying to get my application in by dec 2013,
try to get my application in by dec 2014???</p>

<p>This way I will obviously be really really early, instead of pushing it with being late. </p>

<p>basically, do med schools look down upon this? and can you specially withhold your scores for a year, and apply the next year?</p>

<p>thanks</p>
