Hi everyone,
I am hoping to apply early, and I am going to submit my AMCAS in the next week so that I can verified in June. However, I'm a bit uncertain about how my MCAT will turn out (I receive the scores June 28), and so I may end up retaking the test on July 2 -- which would mean I'd have new MCAT scores around August 2.
If my first set of scores aren't as high as I would like, should I apply early and indicate I am re-taking, or should I wait until August 2 for the new scores before submitting? (In either case, I will be verified already in June)
My main concerns:
- I don't want to wait so long that I receive my secondaries late, and on top of submitting in August, it seems that secondaries take longer to arrive later on in the cycle.
- On the other hand, I don't want to get rejected pre-secondary because of subpar MCAT scores by a school that screens before sending secondaries.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
