Yep. Even @AAMC_MCAT’s own research supports the idea that the test is nothing more than a privilege test. Parental income and school resources are the strongest score predictors! If this is the data you willingly publish, imagine what the unpublished stuff says!

I got approved for the AAMC FAP program and now I can actually afford to apply to medical school . . . . I'm happy (very lucky) but the whole process was a complete ordeal of bullshit that is very classist and the sheer hurdles that people must jump to get help is overwhelming!
This is your friendly reminder that dozens of students are admitted to the top medical schools in the nation every year without ever taking the @AAMC_MCAT. Post-bacc linkage programs are common, especially in career-changer programs where students have no science background.
We are thrilled for this student, but it is irresponsible for us to ignore that the AAMC Fee Assistance Program is not accessible to the vast majority of non-traditional students and that its rules/policies are remarkably unclear. It’s hard to use because they don’t want it used.
Have you been affected by the winter storms? If you won't be able to schedule an MCAT exam once registration opens but have limited internet access, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line "Power Outage" and your AAMC ID.
#PreMed students in Texas and elsewhere — please spread the word!!!!
(Also, thank you to AAMC for promptly acting on this need once it was identified to them!! Premeds, you’re welcome. 😇)

This email was sent to students who are scheduled to take an MCAT exam next week (+ our notes). We can't believe we have to say this, but perhaps the AAMC should be encouraging students to STAY HOME, rather than creating more hygiene theatre.

Please ask your medical school (current, former, whatever) to #WaiveTheMCAT and prioritize students over a 3 digit score that shares relatively little (if anything) about someone's ability to be a wonderful physician.

When George Floyd was murdered by police, the media highlighted his criminal record
When Ashli Babbitt was murdered by the police, the media highlighted her status as a Air Force veteran
