I've been so busy with work and submitting my primary (~2 weeks ago) + panicking about my MCAT score coming back that I completely forgot about signing up for CASPer and the next available date is August 20th. If the processing time takes 3-4 weeks, then I would be complete at CASPer schools by mid-September. All of my secondaries/LORs should be in before Labor Day. Would this be considered late? Are more CASPer dates going to be added for August? Do schools hold sending secondaries and/or application review + interview invites until they receive your CASPer scores? I'm a CA ORM with mediocre stats so I am pretty worried about how this will affect my chances for CASPer schools.

I think some schools would still review before they receive the casper but it depends on the school.
Just watch a review video or tips and take it asap.
If aug 20 is the earliest available, nothing you can do really...

I'm in the same boat 🙁

August 20th is very late. Especially for a CA ORM. Casper takes a full month to verify and the adcoms here recommend being complete by labor day. Thankfully not all schools need casper and it's mostly private and not public schools that need them. I'd ask an adcom whether you should withdraw or not but just apply for the earliest casper date for now.

I am truly so frustrated by this, like I had no idea of this CAPSer test until I received secondaries that mentioned it. Then... their only available date for August is the 20th? I have been sitting around since 8/3/19 when everything got verified and secondaries sent for me for this test. Three weeks to grade? truly just another hoop for pre-meds to jump through. Super frustrating.
