<p>I am an international student, and i dont think i can do the mcat in australia. We do have an australian equivalent (the UMAT). Is it necessary to do the mcat to get into premed? If there is no way i can do the mcat should i do the umat and send my scores to the colleges?</p>
<p>Are you currently in high school or university? If you're in high school, then don't worry about the MCAT. The MCAT is taken during university (I think most people take it in the summer of their 3rd year) and is used for medical school applications. If you're in university right now, I'd contact the medical schools that you're interested in applying to and ask if they'll accept the UMAT.</p>
