So...right now I'm having a tough time studying for the MCAT with all my extra curriculars/school work. I can probably get around a 25 if I took it today but I know I can get a 30 or higher if I get some quality studying done.

I finish with my Spring semester in May28th...and am FREE all summer, which is when I plan to get some quality preparation done.

The problem is...it take a MONTH to get MCAT score and the TMDSAS and AMCAS open up early in May. :/

So...I want to take the MCAT on July6th and I know I can get a 30 or better.

The problem: should I submit AMCAS and TMDSAS without a score and send in a score when I get it (AUGUST 6TH!!!)...OR....is it better to apply with some score and include in the application that I plan to retake the mcat?

I feel it is better to get a good score on the first time BUT with the appl process, I have heard that applications that get processed first, even with poor scores, are better.
