my first mcat score was rough lol. i am retaking it july 20-something and would have scores back first week of august or so...should i wait until my score is back to add schools to my app, which i will have verified at one school before then. i don't want to be at a disadvantage with a later application as i know many med schools have said they will review apps of people with late test dates without the score. however, i also do not want to be disqualified based on my first score. would a school wait on the pending score? would a v bad first score be enough to not warrant reconsideration later? should i just wait to add schools in august? would this put me at a disadvantage (lol def yes bc rolling but honestly what can i do at this point)
MCAT retake, end of july test date, apply before score or wait?

What was the issue with your first test? What are your practice test scores? If you are taking weekly full-length practice tests in test conditions and they are coming in slightly above where you'd like them to, I'd go ahead and get the application in for verification. I waited last year for mine to come in and wish I hadn't!

Finalize your app by sending it to a throwaway school and then when you receive your new score apply broadly.
