If you are applying to med school in 2012:

2. Look at Princeton Review for MCAT Prep Dates
Email Jo information on which MCAT prep course you intend to take. You will receive a confirmation from Princeton (preferred because it is cheaper for Future Docs program) or Kaplan regarding your selected course. A minimum 3.4 GPA is required for MN Future Docs to cover that cost.
