Taking the MCAT as a high school student?

This may be true, but universities don't accept the MCAT. They accept the ACT/SAT. They don't have admissions officers who specialize in understanding the MCAT. What would even be a "decent score" to these admissions offices? Would it general percentage to the population, or relevant to admissions stats of medical schools in Canada and the US

Basically, what I'd do is I'd contact the admissions office of the university and tell them about my score and ask how I can report the score officially to them. Someone I know did this with another conventionally unrelated test. I imagine they could easily tell an impressive score from one that is not based on the percentiles.

I don't know much about applying to universities in Canada

I'll be applying almost exclusively (UofT being the exception) to US schools.

But the best thing that'll happen is they say "cool, good job" and wonder how that MCAT is at all relevant to your university.

But the thing is that universities care about SAT Subject Tests because they gauge knowledge. A 95 percentile score in the SAT Subject Test is impressive because it means "he/she score higher that 95% of his/her peers". A XX percentile score in the MCAT means that he/she better than XX percent of pre-med university students. I can't imagine why this wouldn't merit a "wow he scored..."

Sure, if you didn't take the SAT they'd throw your application in the trash and say you didn't meet the requirements to apply but that's not the case here.

It would be a risky decision and the post you made above this tells me you aren't ready for it.

I don't understand why it would be risky, but thank you for your feedback.
