Anyone have an opinion on this question???

[Adam638]

Here is my situation. I have already submitted my AMCAS and received a bunch of secondaries. I will take the MCAT for the first time in August. Should I submit my secondaries before getting my scores back or wait until October. Any help would be appreciated.

It depends on how confident you are in your score. If you are completely certain that you will get at least 27, you should submit the secondaries. If not, I would wait until October. Practice tests should give you insight into how you'll do but even their prediction isn't always accurate.

prob dosnt hurt to submit them so long as you think you are getting a good score. take tests 9 or 8 and if you get above a 28 then i would.

I'm just curious...is 27 on the mcat essentially the base score that you need to have a shot in the app process?

If you have a 27 with all other attributes being outstanding, you can get in places. Otherwise, I would think that a =>29 would be needed to be a good candidate.
