hey guys i turned in my application yesterday, all transcripts are in but i wont take the mcat till sept 7th. Is that going to really hurt me to the point that I should apply next year?
I am a good, but not great, applicant with a 3.7 sci/allother gpa. I have some unique extracurricular experiences on top of the usual research, shadow and volunteer stuff, with strong LORs to back it up. I got help with grammar/(sounding better?) from my schools writing center and the pre-med office, so my PS is well written too. Will being complete by like october hurt me big time? Im in MA so my state school is insanely difficult to get into (avg mcat= 33)... While preparing for the mcat, ive been doing a bunch of secondaries in advance so that it will be submitted the second my scores are out and im verified.
a friend of mine is a reapplicant and is also taking the sept. mcat. she said that its not a bad thing for her to be complete in october since she's already applied once. apparently thats what my school's pre-med office told her. Is that true that re-applicants dont need to apply as early??? I would say that shes a better overall candidate than me since she's older.
from what i've read on here, it seems like youre "late" if youre not complete by august regardless of you being a re-applicant or a first timer..
