Hi everyone,
I am applying in a few days and have finished a draft of my personal statement in addition to collecting all LORs and submitting almost all my transcripts to AMCAS.
However, I am having difficulty on an issue; a parent of mine passed away 2 weeks ago ( after a 4 month ordeal) which has led to expected grief and difficulty concentrating. I am becoming more clear-headed as the days progress which is why I am able to do more work now.
The question I have is in regards to my app and MCAT. I was originally scheduled to take the MCAT in January until all of this happened. The stress of taking care of a parent on life support made things overwhelming to say the least.
I am aiming to take the MCAT on June 17 or June 29th at the latest as a result while submitting my primary by June 15th. My MCAT score goal is 520+ which is why I want to ensure I have ample time to prepare given these circumstances.
I want to confirm if I would still be considered early with this timeline as I am finding it nearly impossible to submit on day 1 due to the stress of my parent's issue and recovering from that. I plan on having a quick secondary turn around as well/will prewrite. I am taking a summer class as well that ends on June 30th and will have those transcripts submitted immediately as well.
I would be appreciative of your feedback and advice.
