“The MCAT is the entry test into medical school and can cost up to $315,” said Sovent Taylor, assistant director of the office. “This is a huge opportunity for our students. Altius will provide the proctors.”<\/p>\n

All students taking the exam should meet in Holman for a group briefing before being split up and sent to computer labs in Weir and Connor Halls. There, they will check in.<\/p>\n

“The check-in process will include fingerprinting and registration of login information, just like the actual test,” Taylor said. “The test will last a duration of up to 7-1\/2 hours. Students will get the full experience of how the MCAT is done.”<\/p>\n

UM is the first university in the state with a full-service Health Professions Advising Office. Ole Miss is also the first in Mississippi to offer the free MCAT exam preparation for students.<\/p>\n

Students can register to participate in this event at https:\/\/www.planplusonline.us\/forms\/fmhost.jsp?fbid=27822&fbky=4kFX3Qhe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
