Is anyone else turning in the AMCAS application this month or am I waaaay late? I understand that I am a non-traditional applicant but I hope the process to getting into Medical School is not non-traditional but I’m not sure anymore! I took the MCAT in September and I’m waiting to get my scores. I did not send the AMCAS application yet because I figured no schools would even look at me with the rather low score I got the first time around. My plan was to have my AMCAS application finished by score release date (October 13th) and just send it off the minute scores come back passing (I hope, I feel much better about the test this time around). Is anyone else turning in the AMCAS application this month due to pending MCAT scores from September? I wonder if we stand a chance?

Do you realize that by not submitting until after your score release you have to wait up to 6-8 weeks more to be verified and released to schools? Submit now and the score will be automatically updated when it comes in. You are/ will be way late if you are verified and released to schools in December

Do you have a chance? If they have your application there's always a chance.

Have you hurt your chances by applying so late? Unfortunately yes.
I advise you to look at secondary prompts for schools you've applied to NOW (if you search on SDN you should be able to find them) and start working on them. You want the turnaround to be almost immediate once you get oks for secondaries. Also make sure all other ducks are in a row (LORs, etc). You want your completion date to be as soon as bureaucratically possible given your late start.

And yes you are WAY LATE.
