<p>If someone takes the MCAT in april of 2009 to enter medical school in the fall of 2012...that april testing isn't valid right?</p>
<p>no that’ll be fine. You’d be applying in the fall/winter of 2011 and spring of 2012. The MCAT is valid for three application cycles (in this case, the cycles starting in 2009, 2010, and 2011), not for when you’d enter medical school.</p>
