I'm testing May 19th and will be applying around that date. The only thing that will be outstanding will be my test scores and not other things that seem tougher to obtain like LOR's, etc. I'm not concerned since I have everything in order except for the exam. And if a school uses the "take away close" insisting that I'm late amongst all the on-time applicants, etc., then that school can go ahead and find their "perfect" on-time candidate.
