seriously, waiting to turn in your app until beginning/mid-july even won't count you out of med schools. geez. unless you have some extremely average stats or poor recs or something else that's a red flag, just do the secondaries that SDNers post in the meantime during the wait. most people who turn in their apps on june 5th or whenever AMCAS opened this years won't even get the early interviews they rushed for, they will be placed on hold or even without so much as this consolation, pushed back without getting notice for later and later apps that look more attractive or may even be rejected outright. you are by no means late and there really is no need to freak out about the 4? week delay between submission and med schools seeing your info. med schools if i remember correctly don't even officially declare or hand out acceptances til nov 15th (best case scenario) so there's a whole lot more waiting for you guys especially if sadly u get placed on hold, waiting lists, get screened secondaries, etc. even then there's more waiting post acceptance if you are lucky enough to get multiple for financial aid which i think the majority gets processed in april or so (???) so you've got many many months til you are official.
