I figured I would post on here seeing how many of you are going through this process or have already done so. I will be completing my primary application within 1 week and am scheduled to take the MCAT July 26. I have a bachelors of science in nursing (so plenty of clinical experience ) am currently shadowing a DO about 16 hours per week, have many hours of volunteer service and community work, and my cGPA is 3.5 with a sGPA of 3.64. All of my pre requisites are complete besides organic chem II, organic chem lab II, and biochemistry (all of which I am taking in the fall). My question is, due to a late July MCAT, should I wait until next cycle since my scores won't be in until late August, or go ahead and apply? I have approximately 16 osteopathic schools I am applying to. Hopefully this will help with my odds. I posted my GPA and experiences as I figured they would play a factor as well with the timing issue. Thank you guys for your time and appreciate any input.

I would I would say that you would in no way be late for this cycle. Of course it would be ideal to apply as early as possible, but I wouldn't say to skip a cycle (depending on your MCAT)
