Hello everyone
I am applying this cycle no matter what(hint hint: please don't say that I am not ready therefore I have to wait until next year). I am scheduled to take the MCAT in two weeks but based on the score that I got on AAMC practice FL, I am planning to postpone this and take it in end of July. Cutting it real close here.
My GPA is 3.8ish, science GPA is 3.7. Being a first generation college student, non-traditional student, I have plenty of ECs. BUT I have to tell you that last time I took the MCAT for the first time, I had a massive migraine(probably due to stress) and bombed the test. I scored really really low.
With that score on record, WOULD IT BE BETTER to apply to one safety school in June and have my primary verified and apply to all the other schools once the MCAT score rolls in by end of August? or apply to all the schools in June and update the MCAT in August? I feel like the first option would be like I'd be applying to other schools too late.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
