Hi, I'm planning to apply this cycle and am currently debating between an August 8th and August 14th date. I know they are just a week apart but that week will give me the time to fit in 1-2 more practice tests if need be. After looking at Gonnif's timeline, it is looking like I can at the minimum be on time.
I will be initially submitting my AMCAS to a throwaway school during the first week of July so I could get verified sometime in August and add schools without a delay as soon as my MCAT score comes out to receive secondary forms ASAP. After either MCAT date, I plan to pre-write my secondaries so I can turn them in as soon as I formally get them.
If I take the August 8th test, my scores will come back Sept 9th and if I take the August 14th I will get scores back Sept 15th. My plan is to have all my secondaries and LOR's completed by the end of September or 1st week of October latest. If I add all my schools on say September 16th after getting my scores, do you guys think I will get all the forms in time to submit by the end of September, assuming I've pre-written all of them and I just need to copy and paste or should I take the test August 8th?
Thanks for your help!
