i might be reapplying (i'm on a few waitlists right now) and in the case i do need to reapply, my mcat is what needs the most improvement (29). i also applied late this year, which i plan on fixing if i have to go through this again.
That said, how long does it take to get your amcas verified if you submit it ASAP (like the beginning of june/first possible date)? i'm not sure when's the best time to take the mcat. i was planning on may 11 or may 16, but it's at a bad time in the academic quarter with a lot going on, and obviously i need to do much better this time. i worry i might not be as prepared as i want to be, and i think the amcas processing is what takes the longest amount of time anyway.
does my new mcat score need to be in BEFORE amcas processing? or can i retake it while i'm waiting for it to be processed and quickly add the new score when i get it? should i put off taking the mcat until june or just stop freaking out and take it in may?
also i read somewhere about advice for reapplying.. something about only putting one school down just to get the primary verified and then adding more schools later (to save money in the case you get in off a waitlist), but i couldn't find that thread... any advice would be appreciated.
