Dear SDN:
I'm pretty much done with my application and I could send the application in a few days. Problem is, my MCAT scores don't come in til August 4th. Do you think I should submit now without knowing my scores because of a two week difference? I hear that it's getting around the peak time so I should send it while it's still July. Or do you think it might be a good idea to send it to one school but then send more once I get my scores (Is that even possible)?
Also, I heard that if I don't get a good score this year, apply and, get rejected, I'll be worse off as a reapplicant next year than just holding off. Is this true? My friend told me that being a reapplicant is a really bad idea but I never heard this on SDN. I don't really mind the money as much as the whole stigma that I might get as a reapplicant.
If I get a bad score, should I still try to apply for this cycle or do I wait til next year?
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate your help
