What is MCAT?
Missoula Community Access Television (MCAT) provides Missoula residents and organizations with the equipment, training, and channel time to produce TV programs based on their interests and concerns. These programs reflect Missoula’s cultural, political, and intellectual diversity, and help foster a community dialogue about people and issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
MCAT, or Meta data Catalog, is a meta data repository system implemented by the DICE group to provide a mechanism for storing and querying system-level and domain-dependent meta data using a uniform interface. MCAT provides a resource and data object discovery mechanism that can be effectively used to identify and discover resources and data objects of interest using a combination of their characteristic attributes instead of their physical names and/or locations.
MCAT is the acronym for Medical College Admission Test which is required of all medical school applicants. The MCAT exam will be offered at 22 different times throughout the year in 2007 during the months of January, April, May, June, July, August and September. The exam will be approximately one-half day and students can choose between a morning versus an afternoon session on weekdays and Saturdays. The test may be taken up to three times per year, and scores should be available in 30 days or less. Information on test dates, test centers and registration is available at www.aamc.org/mcat. Normally, students take it second semester of their junior year, and then repeat it if necessary before their senior year. Be sure to have your scores sent to Skidmore. The MCAT application form may be downloaded directly from the MCAT web site: www.aamc.org.
The MCAT is the medical college admissions test. To become a doctor, you must attend a medical school, and most medical schools require the MCAT to be taken. Your admission to the school will depend on the score you make on this test. It is for medical schools what the ACT or SAT is for college out of high school. A good score is 30.
