With AMCAS delaying transmission of primaries to July 10th, is there a realistic approximate date range for when medical schools will be looking at completed secondary exams?
I currently have a 510 MCAT score so I know I'll get secondaries. However, I am considering pushing my retake date from June 5th → June 20th because I want some time to breathe between submitting my primary (day it opens), taking CASPer and taking my MCAT. So if I test on June 20th, I'd receive my score on July 21st.
I would like schools to see my updated MCAT score before making a decision regarding whether or not I get an Interview Invite. Would receiving a score back July 21st vs July 5th be impactful on trying to be as early as possible? Considering my 510 MCAT, do I have the luxury to take it June 20th so I can have some space to breathe without impacting my application?
I know things are rather up in the air so I don't expect definitive answers but any advice would be helpful! Thank you, hope everyone's staying safe.
Edit: Just saw the MCAT update. Guess that answers my question
